Every four years, the NCA is required to produce a report for Congress that integrates, evaluates, and interprets the findings of the USGCRP; analyzes the effects of global change on the natural environment, agriculture, energy production and use, land and water resources, transportation, human health and welfare, human social systems, and biological diversity; and analyzes current trends in global change, both human-induced and natural, and projects major trends for the subsequent 25 to 100 years. A draft of the Third National Climate Assessment report is available on the Federal Advisory Committee website. The final report is slated to be released in 2014. These visualizations show projections of temperature anomalies from 2000 to 2100. For each year, the differences (or anomaly) between the model projected 30-year temperature average and the 1970-1999 average are shown. The dates displayed represent the center of the 30-year average; so, the 30-year spans are +/- 15 years from the displayed dates. Separate animations are shown for annual averages and for seasonal averages in the United States. Summer temperatures are displayed due to stakeholder interest in potential extreme heat events. The other seasons are included for completeness.The data are from fifteen coupled Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCMs) from the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) CMIP3 multi-model dataset (PCMDI 2012). These models are CCSM3, CGCM3.1 (T47), CNRM-CM3, CSIRO-Mk3.0, ECHAM5/MPI-OM, ECHO-G, GFDL-CM2.0, GFDL-CM2.1, INM-CM3.0, IPSL-CM4, MIROC3.2 (medres), MRI-CGCM2.3.2, PCM, UKMO-HadCM3, and UKMO-HadGEM. In those cases where an ensemble of simulations was available from a particular model, only a single ensemble member was used. These climate model runs use assumptions about possible future development patterns and greenhouse gas emission rates. Two future scenarios are shown: B1 and A2.In the B1 scenario, global environmental concerns are emphasized. B1 is a lower greenhouse gas emissions scenario.In the A2 scenarios, future socio-economic development and regional issues are emphasized; and, worldwide cooperation on environmental issues is deemphasized. A2 is a higher greenhouse gas emissions scenario.For each scenario (B1 and A2), five individual temperature anomaly animations are shown for annual, summer, fall, winter, and spring periods. So, there are a total of ten individual animations:B1 Annual (lower emissions annual outlook)A2 Annual (higher emissions annual outlook)B1 Summer (lower emissions outlook of hottest months in US)A2 Summer (higher emissions outlook of hottest months in US)B1 Fall (lower emissions scenario)A2 Fall (higher emissions scenario)B1 Winter (lower emissions scenario)A2 Winter (higher emissions scenario)B1 Spring (lower emissions scenario)A2 Spring (higher emissions scenario)There is also a mosaic of the four most important animations shown for comparison. || ", "hits": 48 }, { "id": 11054, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11054/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2012-08-02T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Earth's Water Cycle", "description": "Water is the fundamental ingredient for life on Earth. Looking at our Earth from space, with its vast and deep ocean, it appears as though there is an abundance of water for our use. However, only a small portion of Earth's water is accessible for our needs. How much fresh water exists and where it is stored affects us all. This animation uses Earth science data from a variety of sensors on NASA Earth observing satellites as well as cartoons to describe Earth's water cycle and the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. Sensors on a suite of NASA satellites observe and measure water on land, in the ocean and in the atmosphere. These measurements are important to understanding the availability and distribution of Earth's water — vital to life and vulnerable to the impacts of climate change on a growing world population.NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information Systems (EOSDIS) EOSDIS is a distributed system of twelve data centers and science investigator processing systems.

The part absorbed by the Earth's surface heats the Earth, which then heats the air just above the surface. This process occurs rapidly in the case of dry land and slowly in the case of the oceans. This animation shows the surface air temperature at an altitude of 2 meters for the whole globe from September 1, 2004, through September 5, 2004, during the period of Hurricane Frances in the western Atlantic Ocean and Typhoon Songda in the western Pacific Ocean. The animation clearly shows the air over land reacting rapidly to solar heating during the day and cooling at night, while the daily solar cycle is not visible in the temperature of the air over the ocean. A very dynamic region of changing air temperature is visible in the interaction between the cold air over Antarctica and the warmer mid-latitude air over the southern oceans during this region of polar night. Hurricane Frances and Typhhon Songda are just barely visible as circulating temperature patterns in the western Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. || ", "hits": 17 }, { "id": 3102, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/3102/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2005-01-27T12:00:00-05:00", "title": "Temperature from new Microwave Limb Sounder on Aura (WMS)", "description": "This animation shows temperature in the atmosphere from August 13 through October 15, 2004.
