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.

This animated map shows monthly temperature anomalies (changes from an average) from summer 1880 to summer 2023 measured with respect to NASA's 1951-1980 baseline period.

Animation of global water level variability

The relentless rise of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

This visualization shows the complex patterns of methane emissions produced globally from January 2018 to November 2018.

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

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.

¡La NASA no explora solamente el espacio exterior! Desde 1959, con el lanzamiento del primer satélite meteorológico, la NASA ha estado estudiando nuestro planeta de origen a escala global.

Visualization of globally averaged July temperatures since 1880, with July 2023 being the warmest month on record.

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.

This movie shows the evolution of several regions of the Greenland Ice Sheet between 2008 and 2300 based on three different climate scenarios.

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

Las nubes son complicadas cuando se trata de la ciencia del clima, ya que calientan y enfrían la Tierra.

This visualization presents methane emissions across the United States for the year 2012.

A view from one of our flying science laboratories over the ice in Greenland during Operation IceBridge.

Continuing key Earth observations is really important to see how our atmosphere, land, and ocean are changing over time. A long-term record, combined with cutting-edge observations from the new NASA Earth System Observatory, will continue to push boundaries to better understand our ever-changing planet.

Oceanographer Josh Willis discusses the heat capacity of water, performs an experiment to demonstrate heat capacity using a water balloon and describes how water's ability to store heat affects Earth's climate.

Salinity plays a major role in global ocean circulation and changes in salinity may impact regional and global climates. NASA's Aquarius mission is painting a global picture of our planet's salty waters.

Los gases de efecto invernadero son vitales para la vida en la Tierra, pero la creciente concentración de ciertos gases, como el dióxido de carbono, está afectando el delicado equilibrio del planeta.

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.

Video: Images created from GRACE data showing changes in Greenland ice mass since 2002.

A super high-definition view of how carbon dioxide in the air moves around the world with the winds.

Ice covers 10 percent of Earth's surface and helps moderate the planet's temperature. Glaciers and ice sheets around the world are melting at an alarming rate. By keeping an eye on Earth's ice from space, NASA satellites help us understand the global effects of climate change.
