This animation shows the movement of carbon dioxide between the air and sea with the help of ocean surface winds from Jan. 3, 2012 to Aug. 15, 2012.

Satellite scatterometer missions make essential measurements to support weather and marine forecasting. Learn more about how they work, why they measure ocean winds, and what the QuikScat mission accomplished during its time in orbit.

This visualization shows carbon emissions from fires from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2018. The color bar reflects the quantity of carbon emitted.

This visualization shows total sea level change between 1992 and 2019, based on data collected from the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, and Jason-3 satellites.

La fuerza de la gravedad no solo evita que nos alejemos flotando, sino que también permite a la NASA estudiar el agua y el hielo de la Tierra desde el espacio.

Video: NASA's Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) and Operation IceBridge missions investigate Greenland's thinning ice sheets from above and below.

Nuestra Tierra tiene fiebre. Nuestros científicos creen que la temperatura de la Tierra podría subir de 3 a 10 grados Fahrenheit durante este siglo.

Explore Kaneohe Bay with NASA’s CORAL scientists. During field campaigns, scientists take in-water (in situ) measurements to validate the data from airborne instruments.

NASA scientists say 2013 tied for the seventh warmest of any year since 1880, continuing a long-term trend of rising global temperatures.

This visualization depicts changes in Antarctic land ice thickness as measured by the ICESat and ICESat-2 satellites.

Color-coded map of changing global surface temperature anomalies from 1880 through 2022. 

Video: Scientists combined an array of NASA satellite observations of Earth with data on human activities to map locations where freshwater is changing around the globe and why.

Antes de la Revolución Industrial, el clima de la Tierra cambiaba debido a eventos naturales como la actividad volcánica y las variaciones de la energía solar.

Video: Southern Hemisphere ozone between July 1 and December 31 for selected years between 1979 and 2018.

This visualization shows sea surface temperature (SST) data from January 2016 through March 2020.

Earth has about 370,000,000,000,000,000,000 (quintillion) gallons of water, with some sources easier to access and use than others. The water budget tells us where that water is – key information that helps better plan for the future.

Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich will join a long-standing family of Earth-observing satellites from NASA and European partners, including EUMETSAT and the French space agency CNES.
