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.

These changes are evident in phenomena such as depleted groundwater, earlier snowmelt, and erratic fluctuations in floods and drought occurrences. To better understand these changes in terrestrial water storage, scientists have integrated multiple remote sensing datasets with NASA’s advanced land surface model through data assimilation, creating a global water storage reanalysis dataset. The results capture the complex patterns of global water cycle shifts in response to both climate and human activities. Using this new integrated dataset, scientists use statistical methods (time series analysis) to identify trends (TR), seasonal shifts (SS), and changes in extreme events (EFR), ultimately developing an index, the “Nonstationarity Index,” (NSI) that quantifies the degree of nonstationarity within the global water system. || ", "hits": 30 }, { "id": 5417, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5417/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2024-12-09T10:00:00-05:00", "title": "GeoXO - OCX", "description": "This visualization begins with a global view of Earth, showcasing a hypothetical scanning pattern for the OCX instrument on the proposed GeoXO East satellite.

On a molecule by molecule basis, methane is much more efficient at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, the main driver of warming. Though human activities, including agriculture, oil and natural gas production and use, and waste disposal, collectively contribute the majority of methane to the atmosphere, about a third of total methane emissions comes from wetlands. Wetland habitats are filled with things like waterlogged soils and permafrost, which makes them sizable carbon sinks. However, as the climate changes, these carbon-rich soils are vulnerable to flooding and to rising temperatures, which can release more carbon to the atmosphere in the form of methane. Understanding methane emissions from natural sources like wetlands is critically important to scientists and policymakers who are working to ensure that changes in natural systems don’t counteract progress in combatting climate change made by reducing emissions from human activities.This animation shows estimates of wetland methane emissions produced by the Lund–Potsdam–Jena Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (LPJ-DGVM) Wald Schnee und Landscaft version (LPJ-wsl). LPJ-wsl is a prognostic model, meaning that it can be used to simulate future changes in wetland emissions and independently verified with remote sensing data products. The model includes a complex, topography dependent model of near surface hydrology, and a permafrost and dynamic snow model, allowing it to produce realistic distributions of inundated areas. Highlighted areas show concentrated methane sources from tropical and high latitude ecosystems. The LPJ-wsl model is regularly used in conjunction with NASA’s GEOS model to simulate the impact of wetlands and other methane sources on atmospheric methane concentrations, compare against satellite and airborne data, and to improve understanding and prediction of wetland emissions.

The Landsat program is the longest-running enterprise for acquisition of satellite imagery of Earth. It is a joint NASA/USGS program. Researchers harmonize Landsat data to detect the footprint of human activities and measure the effects of climate change on land over decades.Once fully operational in orbit, Landsat 9 will replace Landsat 7 and join its sister satellite, Landsat 8, in continuing to collect data from across the planet every eight days. This calibrated data will continue the Landsat program’s critical role in monitoring land use and helping decision-makers manage essential resources including crops, water resources, and forests.Briefing participants, in speaking order, are:•Karen St. Germain, director of NASA's Earth Science Division•Del Jenstrom, Landsat 9 project manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland•Jeff Masek, Landsat 9 project scientist at Goddard•David Applegate, acting director of USGS•Birgit Peterson, geographer at USGS•Inbal Becker-Reshef, director of NASA’s Harvest food security and agriculture program.NASA manages the Landsat 9 mission. Goddard teams also built and tested one of the two instruments on Landsat 9, the Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2) instrument. TIRS-2 will use thermal imaging to make measurements that are used to calculate soil moisture and detect the health of plants.The USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, will operate the mission and manage the ground system, including maintaining the Landsat archive. Ball Aerospace in Boulder, Colorado, built and tested the Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2) instrument, another imaging sensor that provides data in the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared portions of the spectrum.

During La Niña events, Southern Africa receives persistent and above normal rainfall, which floods habitats of RVF mosquito vectors triggering hatching of RVF virus infected eggs. The above-normal rainfall is followed by an increase in vegetation creating appropriate habitats for the mosquito vectors setting the stage for RVF outbreak activity, which in simple terms means an uptick in mosquito populations that cause infections of domestic livestock and human populations with the RVF virus. However, in rare cases there is a departure from this canonical response, as we can observe in 2009-2010, when a mild El Niño event resulted in above normal vegetaton and a large RVF outbreak in South Africa. || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_2960_print.jpg (1024x576) [107.8 KB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_3525_searchweb.png (320x180) [63.0 KB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_3525_thm.png (80x40) [6.5 KB] || ENSO_Teleconnections (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || SST_Precip_NDVI_Dashboard_2008_2011_1920x1080_p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [22.7 MB] || ENSO_Teleconnections (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || ENSO_Teleconnections (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [56.0 MB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_p30.webm (3840x2160) [10.2 MB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_2960.tif (3840x2160) [3.4 MB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_3525.tif (3840x2160) [3.4 MB] || ", "hits": 32 }, { "id": 13535, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13535/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2020-02-07T14:30:00-05:00", "title": "Solar Orbiter Science Press Briefing", "description": "NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) will present Solar Orbiter, the ESA/NASA mission to the Sun, during a science press briefing on Friday, Feb. 7. 2020, at 2.30 p.m. EST.

At the same time, Solar Orbiter will acquire in situ data and characterise and calibrate its remote-sensing instruments. The first close solar pass will take place in 2022 at around a third of Earth’s distance from the Sun.The spacecraft’s orbit has been chosen to be ‘in resonance’ with Venus, which means that it will return to the planet’s vicinity every few orbits and can again use the planet’s gravity to alter or tilt its orbit. Initially Solar Orbiter will be confined to the same plane as the planets, but each encounter of Venus will increase its orbital inclination. For example, after the 2025 Venus encounter it will make its first solar pass at 17º inclination, increasing to 33º during a proposed mission extension phase, bringing even more of the polar regions into direct view. || ", "hits": 139 }, { "id": 13482, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13482/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2020-01-13T10:00:00-05:00", "title": "Lucy Mission Overview: Journey to Explore the Trojan Asteroids", "description": "An overview of the Lucy Mission and its targets, the Trojan Asteroids.

A better understanding of how snow melts can help scientists recognize the signature in radar signals of heavier, wetter snow -- the kind that breaks power lines and tree limbs -- and could be a step toward improving predictions of this hazard.The model reproduces key features of melting snowflakes that have been observed in nature: first, meltwater gathers in any concave regions of the snowflake's surface. These liquid-water regions merge as they grow and eventually form a shell of liquid around an ice core, finally developing into a water drop. The visualization shows a typical snowflake less than half an inch (one centimeter) long. The snowflake is composed of individual ice crystals whose arms became entangled when they collided in the air. The extremities of the arms melt first because they are more exposed to heat from the surrounding air. Water first fills small cavities within the ice crystals, and then these overflow, allowing water to pool into droplets.\"I got interested in modeling melting snow because of the way it affects our observations with remote sensing instruments,\" Leinonen said. A radar \"profile\" of the atmosphere from top to bottom shows a very bright, prominent layer at the altitude where falling snow and hail melt, much brighter than the layers above and below. \"The reasons for this layer are still not particularly clear, and there has been a bit of debate in the community,\" Leinonen explained. Simpler models can reproduce the bright melt layer, but a more detailed model like this one can help scientists to understand it better, particularly how the type of melting snow and the radar wavelengths used to observe it relate to the brightness of the layer.A paper on the numerical model, titled \"Snowflake melting simulation using smoothed particle hydrodynamics,\" recently appeared in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres. || ", "hits": 26 }, { "id": 4629, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4629/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2018-03-29T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Snowflakes Melting Simulation Over Turntable", "description": "Clockwise rotating turntable of a cluster of melting snowflakes. || turntable_v39.0000_print.jpg (1024x576) [69.2 KB] || turntable_v39.0000_searchweb.png (320x180) [34.1 KB] || turntable_v39.0000_thm.png (80x40) [3.4 KB] || turntable_v39_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [13.2 MB] || 1920x1080_16x9_30p (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || turntable_v39_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [2.7 MB] || turntable_v39_1080p30.mp4.hwshow [187 bytes] || ", "hits": 28 }, { "id": 4630, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4630/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2018-03-29T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Falling Snowflakes Melting Simulation", "description": "Simulation of a melting snowflakes tumbling. || falling_flake.0000_print.jpg (1024x576) [54.2 KB] || falling_flake.0000_searchweb.png (320x180) [25.3 KB] || falling_flake.0000_thm.png (80x40) [2.6 KB] || falling_flake.0.mp4 (1920x1080) [12.3 MB] || 1920x1080_16x9_60p (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || falling_flake.0.webm (1920x1080) [2.7 MB] || falling_flake.0.mp4.hwshow [202 bytes] || ", "hits": 50 }, { "id": 20277, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/20277/", "result_type": "Animation", "release_date": "2018-03-28T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "LUVOIR spacecraft in orbit", "description": "LUVOIR Space Telescope in Orbit || LUVOIR_BeautyS_4K.00780_print.jpg (1024x576) [91.0 KB] || LUVOIR_BeautyS_4K.00780_searchweb.png (320x180) [61.8 KB] || LUVOIR_BeautyS_4K.00780_thm.png (80x40) [4.3 KB] || LUVOIR_BeautyS_h264.mp4 (1920x1080) [37.0 MB] || LUVOIR_BeautyS_1080 (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || LUVOIR_BeautyS_h264.webm (1920x1080) [3.4 MB] || LUVOIR_BeautyS_1080.mov (1920x1080) [780.8 MB] || LUVOIR_BeautyS_4k_ProRes (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || LUVOIR_BShot_wGalaxy_HyperWall (5045x2160) [0 Item(s)] || LUVOIR_BShot_wGalaxy_HyperWall.mov (5045x2160) [1.1 GB] || LUVOIR_BeautyS_4K.mov (3840x2160) [3.0 GB] || ", "hits": 52 }, { "id": 4613, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4613/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2018-01-31T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "JPSS Concept of Operations: Constellation Management", "description": "This visualization illustrates how JPSS-1 (now NOAA-20) orbit phasing and raising works relative to SNPP, the notional way SNPP can be maneuvered a quarter-orbit along-track separation from JPSS-1 prior to launch of JPSS-2, and how a three-satellite constellation operates on a sun-synchronous orbit node-crossing including sensor-swath footprints as the world turns below.This video is also available on our YouTube channel. || jpss_constellationManagement_05235_print.jpg (1024x576) [65.1 KB] || jpss_constellationManagement_05235_searchweb.png (320x180) [54.3 KB] || jpss_constellationManagement_05235_thm.png (80x40) [4.3 KB] || JPSS_constellationManagement_Full (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || jpss_constellationManagement_full_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [34.8 MB] || jpss_constellationManagement_full_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [250.4 MB] || jpss_constellationManagement_full_1080p30.mp4.hwshow [207 bytes] || ", "hits": 29 }, { "id": 30892, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30892/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2017-08-16T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Remotely Sensing Our Planet", "description": "Remote sensing platforms || remote_sensing_diagram_hw_print.jpg (1024x574) [92.7 KB] || remote_sensing_diagram_hw.png (4104x2304) [2.7 MB] || remote_sensing_diagram_hw_searchweb.png (180x320) [55.5 KB] || remote_sensing_diagram_hw_thm.png (80x40) [5.4 KB] || a030892-remote-sensing.hwshow ||", "hits": 139 }, { "id": 4580, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4580/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2017-07-07T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "Electromagnetic Waves and Polarization", "description": "Representations of electromagnetic waves of different polarizations: Right circular polarization (upper/right); Linear polarization (middle); and Left circular polarization (lower/left).

The CATS mission extends the data record of space-based aerosol and cloud measurements to ensure the continuity of lidar climate observation.Data from CATS will help scientists model the structure of dust plumes and other atmospheric features, which can travel far distances and impact air quality. Climate scientists will also use the CATS data, along with data from other Earth-observing instruments, to look at trends and interactions in clouds and aerosols over time.Calbco EruptionCATS and the ISS provide critical measurements of volcanic plume heights. In late April 2015, the Calbuco Volcano in Chile erupted multiple times; sending plumes of sulfur dioxide and ash into the upper troposphere. Volcanic plumes pose a substantial risk to aviation safety, leading to prolonged flight cancellations that cause ripple effects in the airline industry’s economy and on personal travel. Rerouting air traffic requires accurate forecasts of volcanic plume transport from models such as the NASA GEOS-5 shown here.

What is Rad-X, why is it important, and what is the EPO and project scientist's role?NASA's Radiation Dosimetry Experiment, or RaD-X, is a low-cost, high-altitude balloon project. Its mission is to help us understand and quantify cosmic ray exposure at the top of atmosphere. That's the zone where commercial airlines fly. This is important because these cosmic rays are a primary source of ionizing radiation in the atmosphere and increase the risk of cancer and other health impacts. A pilot absorbs as much radiation as a worker in a nuclear power plant, yet the dose of radiation they receive during a cosmic storm or during the span of their career is not quantified or documented.The RaD-X payload consists of four radiation sensors that are used to measure incoming radiation. The RaD-X payload was launched on September 25, 2015 via a high-altitude research balloon. This supplements NASA's Nowcast of Atmospheric Ionizing Radiation for Aviation Safety (NAIRAS) model, which helps us make informed decisions about radiation exposure safety for flight crews, the general public, and commercial space operations. RaD-X also supported Cubes in Space on their inaugural balloon flight, which carried various science projects from schools across the U.S. Cubes in Space is a global design contest in which teams of secondary school students from around the world develop unique science experiments for launch into the upper atmosphere. During the 24-hour mission, the RaD-X payload and Cubes in Space experienced altitudes above 100,000 ft. during the day and above 60,000 ft. during the night. On RaD-X, I had dual roles. First as the Project Scientist it was my job to serve as an interface between the scientists and engineers. Essentially, to help them speak the same language and communicate effectively. I was also the EPO lead. This included coordinating school visits, developing fact sheets, and interfacing with NASA Langley Research Center’s public affairs and communications.How do you use Earth visualizations? Does it have applications to the Rad-X project?Using data from the NAIRAS model, we create visualizations of predicted radiation exposure at multiple altitudes. These show exposure rates at aircraft levels and a vertical profile on global exposure rates. Now that we have successfully launched the Rad-X mission, we have started to analyze real data. During the launch we monitored (in real-time) how the measurements compared with the model predicted values from NAIRAS. Creating visualizations in real-time made the comparisons easier to interpret. || ", "hits": 12 }, { "id": 4385, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4385/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-10-09T17:00:00-04:00", "title": "Zooming In: Remote Sensing the Earth", "description": "This gallery was created for Earth Science Week 2015 and beyond.

Every living animal uses remote sensing. A spider keeps its eight eyes fixed on a fly, watches its movements. A dolphin sends out sounds to locate a school of fish. A tiger uses its Jacobson's organ to smell a mate. Humans listen to cicadas' loud noises coming from the trees. These are all examples of remote sensing. And, more than likely, all of these animals are analyzing the data they are receiving. I used these particular examples to show that there are different methods of receiving this data. The spider uses sight. The dolphin uses echolocation. The tiger uses smell. The human uses sound. I remember the first time I flew in an airplane. I was about 12 years old and was lucky enough to get a window seat. It was amazing to look down and try to identify things on the ground. I didn't realize it at the time but I was remotely sensing Earth! I could almost imagine how a bird must see the land when it's flying high in the sky. Since I cannot fly all the time like birds do, I can use another tool — Google Earth — to get the same experience. I can look at my computer screen, and identify the differences between urban and natural areas and between fields and forests. NASA creates the most amazing remotely-sensed images of space and the planets. I have always been fascinated by space and space exploration. In 1969, as I listened on my radio to the broadcast of the moon landing, I wondered what it would be like to walk on the moon and to look further out into space. Now, space telescopes, such as Hubble, provide scientists with hundreds of thousands of images for understanding our universe. Images of outer space are fascinating, but I am most excited about images of Earth. NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey have created an amazing collection of satellite images, called Earth as Art. Sometimes these almost look like art from a museum. These images are not only pleasing to look at; they can also tell us valuable information. || ", "hits": 64 }, { "id": 4364, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4364/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-09-29T18:00:00-04:00", "title": "Educator Webinar: Mapping Earth's Water Cycle with NASA Scientists (Recorded)", "description": "Earth Science Week Webinar - 2014 on Vimeo!View the Concept Maps: Map 1 and Map 2 || Example flood image. || webinar_still_searchweb.png (320x180) [60.3 KB] || webinar_still_thm.png (80x40) [4.4 KB] || ESW-700x498-300x213.jpg (300x213) [14.1 KB] || ", "hits": 15 }, { "id": 40259, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/svsdb-esw2015index/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2015-09-28T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Earth Science Week 2015: Visualizing Earth Systems (Oct. 11-17)", "description": "This gallery was created for Earth Science Week 2015 and beyond, and includes a quick start guide for educators and first-hand stories (blogs) for learners of all ages by NASA visualizers, scientists and educators.

The route takes the birds along what’s called the Pacific Flyway, where they seek out the increasingly rare wetlands teeming with tasty insects to fuel their long-distance flights. The Nature Conservancy of California operates the BirdReturns program, with partners including Point Blue Conservation Science, Audubon California and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Over the last century, California's Central Valley has lost 95% of the wetlands habitat, which is needed for the shorebirds while on their migration. The solution involves big data, binoculars and rice paddies. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird program collects on-the-ground observations, including species and date spotted, from bird watchers nationwide. With a recent NASA grant to Cornell, scientists created computer models to analyze that information and combine it with satellite remote sensing imagery from Landsat and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer instruments on NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites. With these models, they could identify areas in the Central Valley where birds flocked to during the spring and fall migrations, as well as estimate the number of birds making the journey.Some of his colleagues had been using Landsat images to look at where – and when – there was standing water, to assist with surveys of shorebirds.The nonprofit Point Blue, based in Petaluma, California, developed models that can classify habitats based on Landsat imagery. For the BirdReturns project, the team analyzed 1,500 Landsat scenes between 2000 and 2011, and then additional images from Landsat 8 after its 2013 launch. For each area not blocked by clouds, they classified whether there was surface water.Matching the location and timing of surface water from Landsat with the route and timing of migrating shorebirds from eBird, the BirdReturns program looks for those key sites where extra water would make a difference for the birds, which forage for food in the wetland areas. The Nature Conservancy then uses a reverse auction where farmers try to submit the lowest bid to turn their empty fields into a pop-up wetland for the few weeks the birds are stopping in the Central Valley while on their migration.We would like to thank the Point Blue and The Nature Conservancy for supplying Central Valley water data.

But only in the last hundred or so years have advancements in technology—from the beginnings of flight to the dawn of the space age—enabled humans to gain a complete view of the sea ice and an understanding of how it’s changing. Scientific accounts of Arctic sea ice can be traced back to the time of the Roman Empire. Early explorers traveled across land and by sea to witness firsthand the floating sheets of ice that blanket Earth's northern pole. By the mid- to late 20th century, observation of the Arctic’s frozen waters entered a new era. Remote-sensing instruments carried aboard research aircraft and satellites provided enhanced and eventually near-continuous monitoring of sea ice from space.

The Lunar Module, nicknamed Eagle and flown by Neil Armstrong and Edwin \"Buzz\" Aldrin, touched down near the southern rim of the Sea of Tranquility, one of the large, dark basins that contribute to the Man in the Moon visible from Earth. Armstrong and Aldrin spent about two hours outside the LM setting up experiments and collecting samples. At one point, Armstrong ventured east of the LM to examine a small crater, dubbed Little West, that he'd flown over just before landing.The trails of disturbed regolith created by the astronauts' boots are still clearly visible in photographs of the landing site taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) narrow-angle camera (LROC) more than four decades later.LROC imagery makes it possible to visit the landing site in a whole new way by flying around a three-dimensional model of the site. LROC scientists created the digital elevation model using a stereo pair of images. Each image in the pair shows the site from a slightly different angle, allowing sophisticated software to infer the shape of the terrain, similar to the way that left and right eye views are combined in the brain to produce the perception of depth.The animator draped an LROC photograph over the terrain model. He also added a 3D model of the LM descent stage—the real LM in the photograph looks oddly flat when viewed at an oblique angle.Although the area around the site is relatively flat by lunar standards, West Crater (the big brother of the crater visited by Armstrong) appears in dramatic relief near the eastern edge of the terrain model. Ejecta from West comprises the boulders that Armstrong had to avoid as he searched for a safe landing site.Apollo 11 was the first of six increasingly ambitious crewed lunar landings. The exploration of the lunar surface by the Apollo astronauts, when combined with the wealth of remote sensing data now being returned by LRO, continues to inform our understanding of our nearest neighbor in space. || ", "hits": 3548 }, { "id": 11585, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11585/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2014-07-10T11:00:00-04:00", "title": "Mapping Soil Moisture", "description": "To improve weather forecasts and build better climate models, scientists are looking at changes in soil moisture. Soil moisture is a measurement of the amount of water contained within soil particles. In 2011, NASA and the Argentina space agency launched the Aquarius/SAC-D satellite to observe the salt content of the ocean surface. But researchers also developed a method for the satellite to provide global maps of soil moisture. Orbiting Earth at an altitude of 400 miles, the satellite measures the wetness of soil by detecting microwave energy that's naturally emitted from the top two inches of land. The maps show how severe weather and seasonal cycles affect soil conditions in different parts of the world—information that can be used to help predict the onset of floods or drought.
