Climate modeling requires massive computational power. Until recently, that power required room sized machines with daunting technical and logistic requirements. But new advances in computer design, including hardware and software, continue to facilitate a paradigm shift.  In an effort to broaden and democratize climate research tools, NASA has begun to facilitate the operation of new desktop sized supercomputers, with the goal of making it substantially easier for more researchers to do meaningful work on vital and essential questions for our world. <p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10537 Climate in a Box
The Earth is a complex system with a unique climate. Many scientists are concerned that Earth’s climate is changing at an unprecedented rate. Each January, scientists at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies release temperature data for the previous year. How do scientists study how warm our home planet is, and how do they determine what factors affect its climate? This short video explores the tools NASA scientists use to take Earth’s temperature.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10530 Taking Earth's Temperature

Water is all around us, and its importance to nearly every natural process on earth cannot be underestimated. The water cycle is the movement of water around the Earth in all its forms, from the ocean to the atmosphere, to snow, soil, aquifers, lakes, and streams on land, and ultimately backs to the ocean. This video explains what the water cycle is and how important it is to life on earth.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10509 Water, Water Everywhere!

Arctic sea ice declined this summer to its second smallest extent in the satellite era, suggesting that the record set in 2007 may not have been an anomaly. If recent trends in the melt rate continue, we could see a virtually ice-free Arctic each summer much sooner than previously thought.<p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010300/a010353/SeaIce2008_transcript.htm'>here</a>.<p> 10353 Sea Ice 2008
