            "description": "Three major snowstorms hit the east coast of the United States in the winter of 2009-2010. Scientists then posed the following question: What was the role of climate variability during this extreme winter? Utilizing high end computing resources at the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, scientists employed the use of the GEOS-5 atmospheric model in an ensemble of simulations to answer this question. Two case studies were produced. One was the winter of 2009-2010 and the other was the same months during the winter of 1999-2000. 50 member ensembles of high resolution simulations were run (each 3-months long beginning on December 1st for each winter).The resulting findings were that GEOS-5 simulations forced with observed Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) reproduce observed changes, including enhanced storminess along the United States east coast. The ensemble members showed that this is a robust response, and verified that anomalous weather events over the U.S. are, to a large extent, driven by El Niño SST. Furthermore, North Atlantic SST contributes to the coolor (snow-producing) temperatures along the U.S. east coast.By subtracting the results of the 1999-2000 runs from the 2009-2010 a difference map can be generated showing the areas that received more precipitation and areas that received less precipitation. Areas that received more precipitation in 2009-2010 over 1999-2000 are depicted in shades of green. Areas that received less precipitation between these two winters are depicted in shades of brown. || ",

            "description": "An extreme lack of rainfall over much of the United States in 1988 caused greater crop losses than any disaster in U.S. history, killed livestock and led to massive fires in Yellowstone National Park. Five years later, excessive rainfall in the summer of 1993 left rivers swollen, farm fields flooded and towns from the Dakotas to Missouri underwater. Like they did with wind patterns over the United States in these same two devastating years (see previous story, \"Recreating The Wind\"), NASA scientists used a comprehensive dataset called MERRA to compare the extreme precipitation differences in 1988 and 1993. In 1988, a region of high pressure sat over the middle of the country for much of the summer and blocked the usual arrival of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. In contrast, the typical transport of moisture to the U.S. from the Gulf of Mexico intensified greatly five years later, among other factors. Some cities in 1988 did not see rain for close to two months. Others in 1993 remained flooded for five months or more. In these visualizations of total rainfall from each year, watch as drastic differences between the two seasons unfold from May 1 to July 31 in each year. || ",

            "description": "The Earth is a complex system with a unique climate. Many scientists are concerned that Earth's climate is changing at an unprecedented rate. Each January, scientists at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies release temperature data for the previous year. How do scientists study how warm our home planet is, and how do they determine what factors affect its climate? This short video explores the tools NASA scientists use to take Earth's temperature.For complete transcript, click here. || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009_640x480.00652_print.jpg (1024x768) [99.0 KB] || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009_640x480_web.png (320x240) [281.6 KB] || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009_640x480_thm.png (80x40) [16.1 KB] || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009_640x480_searchweb.png (320x180) [85.4 KB] || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009_1280x720_H264.webmhd.webm (960x540) [46.7 MB] || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009_640x480.mpg (640x480) [126.9 MB] || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009_1280x720_H264.mov (720x486) [158.2 MB] || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009_640x480_ipod.m4v (640x480) [46.7 MB] || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009320x240.mp4 (320x240) [18.7 MB] || Taking_Earths_Temperature_Updated_2009.wmv (346x260) [35.6 MB] || ",
