They form when air is forced upward by hills or mountains into a layer of stable air in the atmosphere. Gravity causes the air to fall back down, and it begins to oscillate, creating a ripple effect. Wind flowing over the Rocky Mountains, for example, can create gravity waves that are felt as turbulence on an airplane. || ", "hits": 923 }, { "id": 31234, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31234/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2023-07-22T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Column Carbon Monoxide (CO) from Canada Wildfires", "description": "Column CO from Canada Wildfires || goes-fp-cobbna-nam-jun2023_00000_print.jpg (1024x576) [154.9 KB] || goes-fp-cobbna-nam-jun2023_00000_searchweb.png (320x180) [85.6 KB] || goes-fp-cobbna-nam-jun2023_00000_thm.png (80x40) [6.3 KB] || goes-fp-cobbna-nam-jun2023_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [11.6 MB] || goes-fp-cobbna-nam-jun2023_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [2.4 MB] || 3840x2160_16x9_30p (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || goes-fp-cobbna-nam-jun2023_2160p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [35.4 MB] || earth_observations_5x3.hwshow [570 bytes] || ", "hits": 132 }, { "id": 13675, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13675/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2020-07-28T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "Satellites See Hurricanes Douglas and Hanna", "description": "Music: \"Images Grow\" by Andrew Michael Britton [PRS] and David Stephen Goldsmith [PRS] Complete transcript available. || 13675_Still_Image.jpg (1920x1080) [944.4 KB] || 13675_Still_Image_print.jpg (1024x576) [407.9 KB] || 13675_Still_Image_searchweb.png (320x180) [110.6 KB] || 13675_Still_Image_web.png (320x180) [110.6 KB] || 13675_Still_Image_thm.png (80x40) [8.3 KB] || 13675_Hurricanes_July2020.mp4 (1920x1080) [134.8 MB] || 13675_Hurricanes_July2020.webm (1920x1080) [15.3 MB] || 13675_Hurricane.en_US.srt [1.5 KB] || 13675_Hurricane.en_US.vtt [1.5 KB] || ", "hits": 126 }, { "id": 31139, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31139/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2020-05-08T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Earth: A System of Systems (updated)", "description": "All six time-synchronous datasets, individually and then layered two at a time || layered_pairs_1080p.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [59.0 KB] || layered_pairs_1080p.00001_searchweb.png (320x180) [42.0 KB] || layered_pairs_1080p.00001_thm.png (80x40) [3.8 KB] || layered_pairs_720p.mp4 (1280x720) [83.6 MB] || layered_pairs_1080p.webm (1920x1080) [28.6 MB] || layered_pairs_1080p.mp4 (1920x1080) [157.7 MB] || layered_pairs_2160p.mp4 (3840x2160) [432.6 MB] || A_System_of_Systems_Updated_-_30701.pptx [436.3 MB] || ", "hits": 76 }, { "id": 31106, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31106/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2020-02-12T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "Fires Light Up Mount Vesuvius", "description": "Wildfires on Mount Vesuvius || volcano-vesuvius_print.jpg (1024x576) [98.9 KB] || volcano-vesuvius.png (3840x2160) [3.5 MB] || volcano-vesuvius_searchweb.png (320x180) [66.4 KB] || volcano-vesuvius_thm.png (80x40) [5.3 KB] || fires-light-up-mount-vesuvius.hwshow [285 bytes] || ", "hits": 28 }, { "id": 31122, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31122/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2020-02-12T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "Now You See Them, Now You Don’t—Argentina", "description": "Argentina MODIS natural-color image vs. VIIRS day/night band || symmetry-argentina_00000_print.jpg (1024x576) [109.7 KB] || symmetry-argentina_00000_searchweb.png (320x180) [98.4 KB] || symmetry-argentina_00000_thm.png (80x40) [6.1 KB] || symmetry-argentina_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [5.6 MB] || symmetry-argentina_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [2.0 MB] || symmetry-argentina_2160p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [13.6 MB] || 3840x2160_16x9_30p (3840x2160) [64.0 KB] || ", "hits": 29 }, { "id": 13493, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13493/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2019-12-10T11:00:00-05:00", "title": "Terra Satellite 20-Year Anniversary Instruments and Applications", "description": "Music: “Blackbird” by Magnum Opus [ASCAP];

The tropical disease can bring on severe fever, headaches and chills and is particularly severe for children and the elderly and can cause complications for pregnant women. In rainforest-covered Peru the number of malaria cases has spiked such that, in the past five years, it has had on average the second highest rate in the South American continent. In 2014 and 2015 there were 65,000 reported cases in the country.Containing malaria outbreaks is challenging because it is difficult to figure out where people are contracting the disease. As a result, resources such as insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor sprays are often deployed to areas where few people are getting infected, allowing the outbreak to grow.To tackle this problem, university researchers have turned to data from NASA’s fleet of Earth-observing satellites, which are able to track the types of human and environmental events that typically precede an outbreak. With funding from NASA’s Applied Sciences Program, they are working in partnership with the Peruvian government to develop a system that uses satellite and other data to help forecast outbreaks at the household level months in advance and prevent outbreaks.Additional imagery from: Christopher B.

Those lucky enough to find themselves in the eclipse’s path saw a fiery ring in the sky. Meanwhile, NASA’s Terra satellite saw the eclipse from space.During an annular eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth. But the moon is too far from Earth to completely obscure the sun, so the sun peeks out around the moon. Looking down on Earth, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, aboard NASA’s Terra satellite spotted the moon’s shadow over the Atlantic Ocean.Between two to four solar eclipses occur each year. Later this year, on Aug. 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse – in which the moon completely obscures the sun – will cross the United States, from Oregon to South Carolina.

An Animation of Seasonal Vegetation and its effect on Earth's Global Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide", "description": "In this animation, NASA instruments show the seasonal cycle of vegetation and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The animation begins on January 1, when the northern hemisphere is in winter and the southern hemisphere is in summer. At this time of year, the bulk of living vegetation, shown in green, hovers around the equator and below it, in the southern hemisphere.As the animation plays forward through mid-April, the concentration of carbon dioxide, shown in orange-yellow, in the middle part of Earth's lowest atmospheric layer, the troposphere, increases and spreads throughout the northern hemisphere, reaching a maximum around May. This blooming effect of carbon dioxide follows the seasonal changes that occur in northern latitude ecosystems, in which deciduous trees lose their leaves, resulting in a net release of carbon dioxide through a process called respiration. Carbon dioxide is also released in early spring as soils begin to warm. Almost 10 percent of atmospheric carbon dioxide passes through soils each year.After April, the northern hemisphere moves into late spring and summer and plants begin to grow, reaching a peak in the late summer. The process of plant photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the air. The animation shows how carbon dioxide is scrubbed out of the atmosphere by the large volume of new and growing vegetation. Following the peak in vegetation, the drawdown of atmospheric carbon dioxide due to photosynthesis becomes apparent, particularly over the boreal forests.Note that there is roughly a three-month lag between the state of vegetation at Earth's surface and its effect on carbon dioxide in the middle troposphere.Data like these give scientists a new opportunity to better understand the relationships between carbon dioxide in Earth's middle troposphere and the seasonal cycle of vegetation near the surface.Creating the AnimationThis animation was created with data taken from two NASA spaceborne instruments. The concentration of carbon dioxide data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), a weather and climate instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua spacecraft, is overlain on measurements of vegetation index from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument, also on NASA's Aqua spacecraft, to better understand how photosynthesis and respiration influences the atmospheric carbon dioxide cycle over the globe. The animation runs from January through December and repeats. The AIRS tropospheric carbon dioxide seasonal cycle values were made by averaging AIRS data collected between 2003 and 2010, from which the annual carbon dioxide growth trend of 2 parts per million per year has been removed. For example, the data used for January 1 is actually an average of eight years of AIRS carbon dioxide data taken each year on January 1. The vegetation values were made using data averaged over a four-year period, from 2003 to 2006.Further DetailAIRS uses infrared technology to determine the concentration of atmospheric water vapor and several important trace gases as well as information about temperature and clouds. AIRS orbits Earth from pole-to-pole at an altitude of 438 miles (705 kilometers), measuring Earth's infrared spectrum in 3,278 channels spanning a wavelength range from 3.74 microns to 15.4 microns. Originally designed to improve weather forecasts, AIRS has improved operational five-day weather forecasts more than any other single instrument over the past decade. AIRS has also been found to be sensitive to atmospheric carbon dioxide in the middle troposphere, at an altitude of 5 to 10 kilometers or 3 to 6 miles. AIRS is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., under contract to NASA. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

This timelapse of MODIS images shows the reduction of the forest from 2000-2010.Deforestation follows a fairly predictable pattern in these images. The first clearings that appear in the forest are in a fishbone pattern, arrayed along the edges of roads. Over time, the fishbones collapse into a mixture of forest remnants, cleared areas, and settlements. This pattern follows one of the most common deforestation trajectories in the Amazon. Legal and illegal roads penetrate a remote part of the forest, and small farmers migrate to the area. They claim land along the road and clear some of it for crops. Within a few years, heavy rains and erosion deplete the soil, and crop yields fall. Farmers then convert the degraded land to cattle pasture, and clear more forest for crops. Eventually the small land holders, having cleared much of their land, sell it or abandon it to large cattle holders, who consolidate the plots into large areas of pasture. || ", "hits": 135 }, { "id": 10742, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10742/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2011-08-25T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "NPP Resource Reel", "description": "The NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) represents a critical first step in building the next-generation weather satellite system.
