Zooming from a view of the entire Earth down to Washington DC, as first Landsat data at 15 meter resolution, then aerial photography data at 1 meter resolution appears. 794 Digital Earth Workbench: Zoom Down to Washington D.C. 0:59:00:00  -   0:59:15:26
Panning around a 3D model of the Washington monument, followed by a zoom out to see the east coast of North America 795 Digital Earth Workbench: The Washington Monument in 3D 0:59:15:26  -   0:59:45:06
Zooming from the east coast of North America to the Florida Keys, adding first a Landsat image, then an aerial photograph, and then a benthic habitat map, before zooming back out to a continental view. 796 Digital Earth Workbench: Multiple Views of the Florida Keys 0:59:45:06  -   1:00:39:27
Zooimg from a continental view of North America to a Landsat image of Yellowstone, then adding a time-dependent dataset of fire extents from 1991, then returning to a continental view 797 Digital Earth Workbench: Yellowstone Fires 1:00:39:27  -   1:01:51:19
Global sea surface temperature is added to the globe, then the transparency of that data set is interactively modified 798 Digital Earth Workbench: Global Sea Surface Temperature 1:01:39:12  -   1:01:51:19
Transparent clouds are added on a layer above an Earth with a sea surface temperature dataset 799 Digital Earth Workbench: Sea Surface Temperature with Cloud Cover 1:01:51:19  -   1:02:29:17
An animated sequence of cloud data from GOES showing Hurricane Dennis off the coast of Florida is added to the globe, with the animation speed and transparency of the data controlled interactively 800 Digital Earth Workbench: GOES Satellite data of Hurricane Dennis 1:02:29:17  -   1:03:23:14
Zooming in from a full Earth view, first the Rocky Mountains, then the Andes, the Himalayas, and the Sahara desert are shown with three-dimensional terrain 801 Digital Earth Workbench: Viewing Terrain Height 1:03:28:13  -   1:04:15:12
Zooming down from a full view of the Earth to view a time-varying, 3D-surface from a computaional model of Hurricane Luis 802 Digital Earth Workbench: 3D Hurricane Luis 1:04:15:12  -   1:04:40:01
Zooming out from the surface of the Earth to a view of the Earths magnetic field as represented by selected field lines. A representation of the Sun is also added. 803 Digital Earth Workbench: The Earth's Magnetic Field 1:04:40:01  -   1:04:57:23
Starting with a view of the magnetic field of the Earth, a surface of constant plasma density is added. The basket shape of the surface depicts the compression in front of the Earth caused by solar wind pressure and the handle behind the Earth due to the magnetotail current 804 Digital Earth Workbench: Magnetospheric Density 1:04:57:23  -   1:05:20:16
Starting with a view of the magnetosphere of the Earth, a surface of constant plasma pressure is added showing a shield-like configuration due to the pressure from the solar wind 805 Digital Earth Workbench: Magnetospheric Pressure 1:05:20:16  -   1:05:37:02
From a large-scale view of Earths magnetic field and plasma pressure, the view is zoomed down to a view of the northern hemisphere, where time-varying images of the auroral oval are shown. 806 Digital Earth Workbench: Aurora 1:05:37:02  -   1:06:01:19
Zooming down from a full view of the Earth to see topographic features in the Rocky Mountains, Alaska, South America, India, and Europe 807 Digital Earth Workbench: 3D Topography 1:06:02:16  -   1:07:04:01

*Please note: the SVS does not fulfill requests for copies of the tapes in our library. On some of our animation pages, there is a direct link to a video distribution service from which tapes, handled by the Public Affairs Office (PAO)/Goddard TV, including some of our animations may be ordered. General information on this service can be found here.
