It consists of two satellites flying about 137 mi (220 km) apart in the same orbit around Earth, constantly measuring tiny changes in the distance between them. These variations occur because changes in Earth’s gravity, caused by shifting masses such as melting ice sheets, groundwater depletion, and ocean circulation, slightly alter the satellites’ speeds and separation. By precisely tracking these changes, GRACE FO allows scientists to map how water moves across the planet, improving our understanding of climate change, sea-level rise, and global water resources.This visualization uses data from GRACE FO to create an index based on percentile dryness, categorizing the dregree of wetness or dryness within three domains: groundwater storage, root zone soil moisture, and surface moisture.

NASA utilizes advanced satellite lidar technology to better understand and observe Earth’s forests—crucial ecosystems that absorb roughly 30 percent of atmospheric carbon. Remote sensing scientist, Laura Duncanson, explains the challenge of studying vast, remote regions where traditional field research is limited. For over 50 years, satellites like Landsat have tracked forest cover, but have lacked the ability to measure how much carbon these forests contain. That’s where NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission comes in. GEDI provides high-resolution 3D data on tree canopy height, canopy structure, and surface elevation, allowing scientists to determine forest biomass. However, based on GEDI’s orbit on the International Space Station (ISS), it is unable to capture data near Earth’s poles. To fill that gap, NASA uses the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2), which, although not originally designed for forests, provides complementary 3D forest data, especially in boreal regions. Together, the two lidar systems enable the first comprehensive global biomass map, revealing where and how much carbon is being lost or regained in forests. With this new understanding comes smarter conservation and restoration efforts, assisting in identifying carbon-rich areas to prioritize protection. With these NASA Earth science missions, we can see a clearer global picture of our planet and its carbon balance.

G-LiHT sends out 600,000 laser pulses every second mapping leaves and branches, rocks and streams. Almost 60% of the canopy trees lost branches, snapped in half, or were uprooted. Trees with wide, spreading crowns were reduced to a slender main trunk. Forests in Puerto Rico are now one-third shorter on average, after Hurricane Maria. The disturbances affected the whole ecosystem, from soils and streams to birds and frogs.

The research, published April 23 in Nature, is one of the most comprehensive observational studies to explore the effects of long-term drought on Congolese rainforests using several independent satellite sensors.Scientists use the satellite-derived \"greenness\" of forest regions as one indicator of a forest's health. While this study looks specifically at the impact of a persistent drought in the Congo region since 2000, researchers say that a continued drying trend might alter the composition and structure of the Congo rainforest, affecting its biodiversity and carbon storage.\"It's important to understand these changes because most climate models predict that tropical forests may be under stress due to increasing severe water shortages in a warmer and drier 21st century climate,\" Zhou said.Previous research used satellite-based measurements of vegetation greenness to investigate changes in the Amazon rainforest, notably the effects of severe short-term droughts in 2005 and 2010. Until now, little attention has been paid to African rainforests, where ground measurements are even sparser than in the Amazon and where droughts are less severe but last longer.To clarify the impact of long-term drought on the Congo rainforest, Zhou and colleagues set out to see if they could detect a trend in a satellite measure of vegetation greenness called the Enhanced Vegetation Index. This measure is developed from data produced by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on NASA's Terra satellite. The scientists focused their analysis on intact, forested regions in the Congo basin during the months of April, May and June each year - the first of the area's two peak rainy and growing seasons each year.The study found a gradually decreasing trend in Congo rainforest greenness, sometimes referred to as \"browning,\" suggesting a slow adjustment to the long-term drying trend. This is in contrast to the more immediate response seen in the Amazon, such as large-scale tree mortality, brought about by more episodic drought events.The browning of the forest canopy is consistent with observed decreases in the amount of water available to plants, whether that's in the form of rainfall, water stored in the ground, water in near-surface soils, or water within the vegetation. || ", "hits": 76 }, { "id": 11512, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11512/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2014-04-01T12:45:00-04:00", "title": "Satellite Shows High Productivity From U.S. Corn Belt", "description": "Data from satellite sensors show that during the Northern Hemisphere's growing season, the Midwest region of the United States boasts more photosynthetic activity than any other spot on Earth, according to NASA and university scientists. || ", "hits": 18 }, { "id": 30469, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30469/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2013-11-01T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Landsat Data Help Water-Resource Managers", "description": "In the Western United States between 80 and 90% of freshwater is used for agriculture.

Cooler areas (e.g., irrigated crops) appear as dark purple and red shades, while warmer areas (e.g., urban and desert areas) appear as shades of bright yellow and white. Plants cool down when they transpire, so the combination of water evaporating from the plants and the ground (i.e., evapotranspiration) lowers the temperature of the irrigated land. Pixels representing cooler areas in thermal images from TIRS help water-resource managers determine where water is being used for irrigation, allowing them to make management decisions on water distribution to preserve this scarce resource.

The trend was calculated by a least-squares line fit to a moving 8-day global average of CO2 concentration provided by the AIRS instrument on the Aqua satellite, and increases over the course of the animation (Sept. 2002-Sept. 2006) from 374 ppm to 383 ppm. The biosphere data is provided by the SeaWiFS instrument aboard the SeaStar satellite.During spring and summer months, the consumption of CO2 through plant respiration increases, reducing the concentration of CO2 (the white squares) over the more productive areas.
