Ocean. Data collected by NASA inform our understanding of the complex processes that occur within the global ocean as well as its interactions with land, atmosphere, and ecosystems. The global ocean covers more than 70 percent of Earth’s surface and contains 97 percent of the planet’s water. Data collected by NASA’s Earth-observing ...
State of the Ocean (SOTO), developed by NASA's Pysical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC), is an interactive web-based tool that generates informative maps, animations, and plots that communicate and prove the discovery and analysis of the state of the oceans.
31 de ene. de 2022 · Tracking Ocean Plastic From Space. Researchers are using satellite data and machine learning to map microplastic concentrations across the ocean. About 8 million tons of plastic flow from rivers and beaches into the ocean every year. These plastics are carried by ocean currents and broken down by waves and the Sun into small microplastics.
Ocean Heat Budget. Study of the heat energy gains and losses of the oceans, on global or regional scales. Variables include the terms in the heat budget equation. Definition source: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
NASA's Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) is located at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. PO.DAAC manages and provides tools and services for NASA's oceanographic and hydrologic data (satellite, airborne, and in-situ) to enable greater understanding of the physical processes and condition ...
The sinking of organic material produced by photosynthesis from the upper euphotic layers into the ocean’s interior represents a potential long-term sink for atmospheric CO 2. Its magnitude is regulated primarily by the supply of inorganic nitrogen, primarily nitrate (NO 3 ), to the euphotic layer (Eppley and Peterson, 1979; Lewis et al., 1986, Platt et al., 1989, Flynn and Fasham, 1997).
25 de abr. de 2024 · Globally, SWOT will measure the height of water in the ocean and in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs on land. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech. On December 16, 2022, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite flew into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base. Jointly developed by NASA and CNES (Centre ...
NASA's Ocean Biology Distributed Active Archive Center (OB.DAAC) is managed by NASA's Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG). OB.DAAC is responsible for archiving satellite ocean biology data produced or collected under NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS). OB.DAAC's holdings include a mixture of historical and ...
22 de oct. de 2024 · The Gulf Stream off the East Coast of the U.S. is a vital ocean component. This map view shows the Gulf Stream on May 29, 2024, as a ribbon of dark red hugging the coast. This warm, swift current starts in the Gulf of Mexico, flows through the straits of Florida and toward North Carolina, then turns eastward as it moves toward northwestern ...
22 de oct. de 2024 · Explore Learning Resources. NASA’s massive archive of Earth science data are free and open to any user for any purpose—but accessing, analyzing, visualizing, and applying these data requires a certain degree of knowledge about Earth observation data and how it is collected and optimized. Check out our catalog of learning resources to better ...
