June 2019 Monthly Global Temperature Anomalies

B-roll for the following suggested questions:1. We all know NASA as a space agency. How can NASA’s unique perspective inform us about wildfires?2. NASA researchers are in the field right now tracking smoke from wildfires. What are they seeing from the air and ground?3. This June was the hottest June on record, with early data pointing to July being the warmest month on record. What impact has that had on this year’s fire season?4. When you think of wildfires, you usually associate that with the western part of the U.S. How can wildfires affect us throughout the world?5. How does a changing planet contribute to longer and hotter wildfires?6.

TRT 1:56 New NASA Campaign Tracks Wildfire Smoke for Improved Air Quality ForecastsRecord-Breaking Heat Conditions Set the Stage for Hotter and Longer Fires AheadThis summer, fires have raged through hundreds of thousands of acres across North America, polluting the air we breathe. The smoke from these wildfires can even cross the Atlantic Ocean and travel around the globe. This summer, NASA researchers are in the field taking on the most comprehensive campaign in the continental United States to investigate fast-traveling wildfire smoke to improve air quality forecasting.

These hotter and drier conditions set the stage for more intense wildfires that can bring dangerous smoke to a city near you.Chat with NASA scientists on Thursday, August 8 from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST to find out more about what NASA is doing to track smoke and its impact on your local community.From its unique vantage point in space, NASA serves as one of the first fire detectors. With NASA’s latest satellite technology, we can help firefighters and forest managers combat fires by tracking wildfire movement and impact in real-time.*** To schedule an interview, please fill out THIS FORM.***Location for interviews is NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. satellite coordinatesHD Satellite Coordinates for G17-K17/Lower: Galaxy 17 Ku-band Xp 17 Slot Lower| 91.0 ° W Longitude | DL 12031.0 MHz | Horizontal Polarity | QPSK/DVB-S | FEC 3/4 | SR 13.235 Mbps | DR 18.2954 MHz | HD 720p | Format MPEG2 | Chroma Level 4:2:0 | Audio Embedded *** Questions?

Colder then normal temperatures were seen in January of 2014 in the Eastern United States but that much of the rest of the world saw warmer then normal temperatures during that same time period. January Global Temperature Difference in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. January Global Temperature Difference in Celsius. January Global Temperature Difference in degrees Fahrenheit. January 2014 Global Temperature Anomaly of the United States without the colortable overlay. Global Temperature Anomaly from January 2014. This movie shows both January and February data from 2014 in fahrenheit. colorbar in fahrenheit This movie shows January and February data with the colortable label in Celsius. colorbar in fahrenheit Residents of the eastern United States know that the temperature was colder then the average temperature. This visual of the GISTEMP anomalies for January of 2014 show the United States and then zooms out to show the global picture. Temperature anomalies indicate how much warmer or colder it is than normal for a particular place and time. For the GISS analysis, normal always means the average over the 30-year period 1951-1980 for that place and time of year.
