NASA | The Ocean: A Driving Force for Weather and Climate



Δημοσιεύθηκε στις 3 Αυγ 2012

The Ocean is essential to life on
Earth. Most of Earth's water is stored in the ocean. Although 40 percent
of Earth's population lives within, or near coastal regions- the ocean
impacts people everywhere. Without the ocean, our planet would be
uninhabitable. This animation helps to convey the importance of Earth's
oceanic processes as one component of Earth's interrelated systems.

This
animation uses Earth science data from a variety of sensors on NASA
Earth observing satellites to measure physical oceanography parameters
such as ocean currents, ocean winds, sea surface height and sea surface
temperature. These measurements, in combination with atmospheric
measurements such as surface air temperature, precipitation and clouds
can help scientists understand the ocean's impact on weather and climate
and what this means for life here on Earth. NASA satellites and their
unique view from space are helping to unveil the vast... and largely
unexplored.... OCEAN.

NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information Systems (EOSDIS)
EOSDIS
is a distributed system of twelve data centers and science investigator
processing systems. EOSDIS processes, archives, and distributes data
from Earth observing satellites, field campaigns, airborne sensors, and
related Earth science programs. These data enable the study of Earth
from space to advance scientific understanding. For more information
