Climate Change

Movie ID Title
Satellite data showing the annual variation in vegetation is combined with a graph of hive weight for a beehive in Highland, Maryland. 3625 Honey Bees Weigh In on Climate
The Earth is a complex system with a unique climate. Many scientists are concerned that Earth’s climate is changing at an unprecedented rate. 2005 and 2006 were among the hottest years on record; how will 2007 rank? In January, scientists at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies will release temperature data for 2007. 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
This segment provides an introduction to aerosols- their varied sources, brief lifetimes, and erratic behavior. Glory’s APS will help researchers determine the global distribution of aerosol particles. This unique instrument will unravel the microphysical properties of aerosols, and will shed light on the chemical composition of natural and anthropogenic aerosols and clouds. 10525 Hello Crud
The Sun’s energy is one of the biggest forcings on Earth’s climate, and for years satellites have measured total solar irradiance. Glory will continue collection of this critical climate data, which will contribute to the long-term climate record. The cutting edge TIM instrument will continue the work of NASA’s SORCE mission. 10524 Glory's Suncatcher
This episode explores the complexity of atmospheric aerosols- how they impact climate and how researchers study them. Glory’s Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor and Cloud Camera will provide an unprecedented data set for helping scientists understand aerosol particles.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10523 The Particle Puzzle
Space is a harsh environment, and building a space-bound satellite is no small feat! Here’s a look at how NASA engineers get the Glory mission off the ground…and safely into space!<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10522 The Rough Road to Space
Glory is a unique research satellite designed to orbit the Earth and achieve two major goals. Glory’s first goal is to collect data on the properties of aerosols and black carbon in the Earth's atmosphere and climate system; its second goal is to collect data on solar irradiance for Earth’s long-term climate record. This seven-minute video introduces Glory’s science objectives, people, and instruments, and provides an overview of the Glory mission.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10521 The Road to Glory
Salinity plays a major role in how ocean waters circulate around the globe. Salinity changes can create ocean circulation changes that, in turn, may impact regional and global climates. The extent to which salinity impacts our global ocean circulation is still relatively unknown, but NASA's new Aquarius mission will help advance that understanding by painting a global picture of our planet's salty waters.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10504 Salt of the Earth
Sea level rise is an indicator that our planet is warming. Much of the world's population lives on or near the coast, and rising seas are something worth watching. Sea level can rise for two reasons, both linked to a warming planet. When ice on land, such as mountain glaciers or the ice sheets of Greenland or Antarctica, melt, that water contributes to sea level rise. And when our oceans get warmer - another indicator of climate change - the water expands, also making sea level higher. Using satellites, lasers, and radar in space, and dedicated researchers on the ground, NASA is studying the Earth's ice and water to better understand how sea level rise might affect us all.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10503 Melting Ice, Rising Seas
We know climate change can affect us, but does climate change alter something as vast, deep and mysterious as our oceans? For years, scientists have studied the world's oceans by sending out ships and divers, deploying data-gathering buoys, and by taking aerial measurements from planes. But one of the better ways to understand oceans is to gain an even broader perspective - the view from space. NASA's Earth observing satellites do more than just take pictures of our planet. High-tech sensors gather data, including ocean surface temperature, surface winds, sea level, circulation, and even marine life. Information the satellites obtain help us understand the complex interactions driving the world's oceans today - and gain valuable insight into how the impacts of climate change on oceans might affect us on dry land.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10502 Climate Change and the Global Ocean
This short animation illustrates two scenarios. The first depicts plants blooming at the same time bees emerge to forage for nectar and pollen. The second depicts an earlier bloom, where flowers bloom before bees are ready to forage. The flowers miss out on getting pollinated, and the bees miss their chance to gather nectar and pollen. 10482 Honey Bees and Climate Change Animations
