Movie   ID   Roles   Title
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 Animator
  Glory's Suncatcher
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 Animator
  Climate Change and the Global Ocean
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 Animator
  Melting Ice, Rising Seas
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 Animator

Return to P.I.G.: The Long Wait for Science   10412 Animator
  Return to P.I.G.
This short promo, featuring portraits of Goddard's scientists, engineers, and educators, celebrates 50 years of the center's achievements.   10400 Animator
  50 Years of Goddard
Conceptual animation depicting how geochemical processes during the course of Mars' history may have produced the methane plumes now seen in Mars' atmosphere. Here, through a process called serpentinization, methane is generated as part of a reaction involving the conversion of liquid water (seen seeping into the planet's crust), iron oxide, and carbon dioxide energized by the planet's internal heat into serpentine minerals.   10358 Animator
  Geochemical Creation of Methane
Conceptual animation depicting how biological organisms (shown as oval-shaped translucent structures) living beneath the surface of Mars may have produced methane (shown as blue spheres).   10359 Animator

This short web video features dynamic animations, science data visualizations, and excerpts with a NASA oceanographer to explore the fascinating phenomenon of ocean dead zones.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010300/a010331/In_the_Zone_transcript.htm'>here</a>.   10331 Animator
  In The Zone
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 Animator
  Sea Ice 2008
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.   10333 Animator
  The Cloud Makers
This short film explores the vital connection between the Earth and the Sun. NASA's Glory mission and the Total Irradiance Monitor will continue nearly three decades of solar irradiance measurments. This crucial data will contribute to the longterm climate record.<p>   10198 Animator
  Striking a Solar Balance
This is a conceptual animation showing how polar ice reflects light from the sun. As this ice begins to melt, less sunlight gets reflected into space. It is instead absorbed into the oceans and land, raising the overall temperature, and fueling further melting.   10160 Animator
