Sea surrface density is derived from Aquarius science products and generated by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Aquarius Data Processing System. It is very important because sea surface density drives formation of ocean water masses and three-dimensional ocean circulation. As water parcels sink and move through the ocean, their densities will be modified by mixing with other parcels of seawater. However, if the density signatures of all the end member water masses are known, this mixing can be "unraveled" to determine the proportions of their various source waters. This animation shows the changes of sea surface density from September 7, 2011 to May 20, 2015. ||

Aquarius is an international effort to measure sea surface salinity and learn about the interaction between ocean circulation, the water cycle and climate. Besides salinity, Aquarius also measures sea surface temperature because salinity and temperature determines seawater density and buoyancy. Sea-surface density drives formation of ocean water masses and three-dimensional ocean circulation. Thus better understanding of ocean salinity and temperature improves understanding of the ocean's capacity to store and transport heat. The animation shows the changes of sea surface temporature from September 7, 2011 to May 20, 2015. ||

This animation shows the ocean surface CO2 flux between 1/1/2009 and 12/31/2010. Blue colors indicate uptake and orange-red colors indicate outgassing of ocean carbon. The pathlines indicate surface wind stress. || CO2flux_windStress.00480_print.jpg (1024x576) [213.6 KB] || CO2flux_windStress.00480_searchweb.png (180x320) [97.8 KB] || CO2flux_windStress.00480_thm.png (80x40) [7.2 KB] || CO2flux_windStress_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [23.4 MB] || 3840x2160_16x9_30p (3840x2160) [512.0 KB] || 5760x3240_16x9_30p (5760x3240) [512.0 KB] || CO2flux_windStress_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [673.7 MB] || CO2flux_windStress_2160p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [1.7 GB] || CO2flux_windStress_4398.key [679.6 MB] || CO2flux_windStress_4398.pptx [677.0 MB] || CO2flux_windStress_1080p30.mp4.hwshow [201 bytes] ||

The presence of the space station in low-Earth orbit provides a unique vantage point for collecting Earth and space science data. From an average altitude of about 400 km, details in such features as glaciers, agricultural fields, cities, and coral reefs taken from the ISS can be layered with other sources of data, such as orbiting satellites, to compile the most comprehensive information available.
