Evaporation


GCMD >> EARTH SCIENCE >> Atmosphere >> Atmospheric Water Vapor >> Evaporation
Movie ID Title
In this animation, the first image shows an agricultural region in Idaho on August 14, 2000, captured in the visible spectrum. The round, green circles are irrigated farm fields. The second image, using Landsat's thermal band, depicts cooler and warmer areas. Irrigated fields appear cooler because evapotranspiring water absorbs energy and cools the fields. The thermal image dissolves into a map of evapotranspiration, created using the METRIC tool. 3632 Evapotranspiration from Landsat
This image shows evaporation rate (milligrams per square meter per second) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their more evaporative surroundings. 3154 Urban Signatures: Evaporation (WMS)

Water specialists Rick Allen, Bill Kramber and Tony Morse have created an innovative satellite-based method that maps agricultural water consumption. The team uses Landsat thermal band data to measure the amount of water evaporating from the soil and transpiring from plants' leaves. Evapotranspiring water absorbs energy, so farm fields consuming more water appear cooler in the thermal band. The Landsat observations provide an objective way for water managers to assess on a field-by-field basis how much water agricultural growers are using. Landsat is a joint program of NASA and the US Geological Survey.<p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10484 Landsat: A Space Age Water Gauge

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!
