MERRA-2 GMI is a Goddard Earth Observing System version 5 (GEOS-5) “replay” simulation at 0.5° (~50km) horizontal resolution, driven by MERRA-2 reanalyzed winds, temperature, and pressure, coupled to the comprehensive Global Modeling Initiative (GMI) stratosphere-troposphere chemical mechanism. This animation shows the onset of the Antarctic ozone hole formation during austral winter of the dynamically active 2002 season and its breakdown during spring. In September 2002, the Antarctic polar vortex split into 2 lobes following the first and only observed major stratospheric warming in the Southern Hemisphere over our observational record. By combining NASA’s observations and chemistry simulations we have a clearer view of the evolution of Earth’s ozone layer over the recent past. || oman_toz_2002_pngs_1080.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [117.1 KB] || oman_toz_2002_pngs_1080.00001_searchweb.png (320x180) [61.2 KB] || oman_toz_2002_pngs_1080.00001_web.png (320x180) [61.2 KB] || oman_toz_2002_pngs_1080.00001_thm.png (80x40) [6.0 KB] || oman_toz_2002_pngs_1080.webm (1920x1080) [10.5 MB] || oman_toz_2002_pngs_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [187.7 MB] || ", "hits": 70 }, { "id": 4594, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4594/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2017-10-31T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "ICON Scans the Ionosphere", "description": "ICON orbits Earth at 575 kilometers altitude, measuring the composition and motions of the ionosphere. || IRIDaily.limbwICON_OionHwindIGRF.clockSlate_CRTT.HD1080i.000870_print.jpg (1024x576) [105.7 KB] || IRIDaily.limbwICON_OionHwindIGRF.clockSlate_CRTT.HD1080i.000870_searchweb.png (320x180) [63.8 KB] || IRIDaily.limbwICON_OionHwindIGRF.clockSlate_CRTT.HD1080i.000870_thm.png (80x40) [5.0 KB] || 1920x1080_16x9_30p (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || IRIDaily.limbwICON_OionHwindIGRF.HD1080i_p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [76.4 MB] || IRIDaily.limbwICON_OionHwindIGRF.HD1080i_p30.webm (1920x1080) [10.9 MB] || 3840x2160_16x9_30p (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || IRIDaily.limbwICON_OionHwindIGRF.UHD3840_2160p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [217.4 MB] || IRIDaily.limbwICON_OionHwindIGRF.HD1080i_p30.mp4.hwshow [210 bytes] || ", "hits": 84 }, { "id": 12723, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12723/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2017-09-20T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "NASA Catches Hurricanes Jose and Maria", "description": "Music: \"Tradition-Innovation,\" Philippe Lhommet, KOKA Media || 12723_JoseMaria.00065_print.jpg (1024x576) [166.5 KB] || 12723_JoseMaria.00065_searchweb.png (320x180) [100.4 KB] || 12723_JoseMaria.00065_thm.png (80x40) [7.3 KB] || 12723_JoseMaria_prores.mov (1920x1080) [928.3 MB] || 12723_JoseMaria_master_twitter_720.mp4 (1280x720) [13.1 MB] || 12723_JoseMaria_master_youtube_720.mp4 (1280x720) [80.1 MB] || 12723_JoseMaria_master_youtube_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [83.8 MB] || 12723_JoseMaria_master_facebook_720.mp4 (1280x720) [61.2 MB] || 12723_JoseMaria.mp4 (1920x1080) [63.2 MB] || 12723_JoseMaria_prores.webm (1920x1080) [6.4 MB] || 12723_JoseMaria.en_US.srt [1.1 KB] || 12723_JoseMaria.en_US.vtt [1.1 KB] || ", "hits": 37 }, { "id": 4585, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4585/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2017-09-19T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Hurricane Jose lingers in the Atlantic as Hurricane Maria approaches Puerto Rico", "description": "GPM passed over both Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Jose on September 18th, 2017.

In addition, the gondola is carrying the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) gamma-ray telescope as a mission of opportunity.Another mission of opportunity is the Carolina Infrasound instrument, a small, 3-kilogram payload with infrasound microphones designed to record acoustic wave field activity in the stratosphere. Developed by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, previous balloon flights of the instrument have recorded low-frequency sounds in the stratosphere, some of which are believed to be new to science.As the balloon travels around the Earth, it may be visible from the ground, particularly at sunrise and sunset, to those who live in the southern hemisphere’s mid-latitudes, such as Argentina and South Africa.NASA’s scientific balloons offer low-cost, near-space access for conducting scientific investigations in fields such as astrophysics, heliophysics and atmospheric research.NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia manages the agency’s scientific balloon flight program with 10 to 15 flights each year from launch sites worldwide.

It includes a quick start guide for educators and first-hand stories (blogs) for learners of all ages by NASA visualizers, scientists and educators. We hope that your understanding and use of NASA's visualizations will only increase as your appreciation grows for the beauty of the science they portray, and the communicative power they hold. Read all the blogs and find educational resources for all ages at: The Earth Science Week 2015 page.I've always been fascinated by our atmosphere. Think about it: even though we don't see it, above us is a great aerial ocean! Over time my fascination has grown from weather maps and pondering the origins of storms, to learning all about the physics that surround our everyday lives. From as early as grade school I was also very interested in computers: diagnosing errors, developing programming skills and learning all about hardware and operating systems. So you might say my interests naturally led me to a career as a NASA scientist, where I create visualizations to study the underlying factors that drive weather patterns. Visualizations help us to see the world differently and actively.Many of you have no doubt seen your homes from space using a program called Google Earth™. But did you know you could do a lot more with the right data? In fact I often use it to map atmospheric data in three-dimensions (3-D) around the globe. But one of the challenges I often face is that data comes from many different sources, such as NASA and NOAA satellites or ground-observation stations. This means the data is stored on computer disks all over the country and are named and organized according to different standards, requiring us to customize techniques for producing accurate visualizations in one, 3-D display of the Earth. We do this in order to analyze atmospheric relationships more easily because many weather phenomena arise from physical interactions, both horizontally and vertically, in the global circulation.A big part of atmospheric research relies on using computer models to simulate what our atmosphere will do under different conditions. A great example of this is the data used to prepare the daily weather forecast. This data originates from weather forecasting models that calculate atmospheric motions using the world’s fastest supercomputers. But how do we know these forecasts are accurate? Researchers can verify a model's performance by visualizing one of the variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, or air pressure and then using color shading, contour curves, and wind \"barbs\" to graph that data. Then they overlay the observations from NASA satellites such as cloud-top imagery, cloud-top temperature, and vertical distributions of clouds and aerosols, with the graph (it can be challenging to synchronize the data display as these times usually don't match). After this process, the display confirms the model's accuracy. This method is used to study many atmospheric events, such as timing of a storm system, precipitation, or the direction of dust or smoke transport. || ", "hits": 77 }, { "id": 40239, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/siggraph-2015/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2015-08-08T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Visualizations Presented at SIGGRAPH 2015", "description": "The SIGGRAPH conference is widely recognized as the most prestigious forum for the publication of computer graphics research.

NASA's GPM satellite network shows accumulated rainfall since January 1st of this year. Heavy flooding rains in parts of the east. But it has been very dry over California this year. 2. In fact a California drought has been going on since 2012. Ground water supplies are low. California's 4-year dry spell has left the state short by 20 inches of rain, an entire year's worth of rain. 3. Persistent high pressure off California has blocked Pacific rainstorms. What is needed are a series of \"atmospheric rivers\", often called the Pineapple Express, similar to December 2014, when 3 inches of rain fell. TAG: About 20-50% of California's rain comes from the \"atmospheric rivers\" that pump warm tropical moisture over California. || California_Rainfall-iPad10_print.jpg (1024x576) [121.4 KB] || California_Rainfall-iPad10_searchweb.png (320x180) [84.8 KB] || California_Rainfall-iPad10_thm.png (80x40) [6.7 KB] || California_Rainfall-WC1.mov (1920x1080) [423.0 MB] || California_Rainfall-WC2.mov (1280x720) [423.0 MB] || California_Rainfall-3.mov (1920x1280) [377.3 MB] || California_Rainfall-WC4.wmv (1280x720) [5.5 MB] || California_Rainfall-Accuweather5.avi (1280x720) [4.4 MB] || California_Rainfall-iPad16.mp4 (1920x1080) [27.0 MB] || California_Rainfall-7.mov (1920x1080) [367.3 MB] || California_Rainfall-iPad18.m4v (960x540) [11.2 MB] || California_Rainfall-iPad29.m4v (1280x720) [6.4 MB] || California_Rainfall-iPad10.m4v (1920x1080) [8.4 MB] || California_Rainfall-iPad10.webm (1920x1080) [2.6 MB] || ", "hits": 15 }, { "id": 11807, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11807/", "result_type": "B-Roll", "release_date": "2015-03-17T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Space Enviroment Simulator B-roll", "description": "B-roll of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Space Environment Simulator - 1080p59.94 || SES_Chamber_Beauty_B-roll_thumbnail_only_print.jpg (1024x576) [174.8 KB] || SES_Chamber_Beauty_B-roll_thumbnail_only_searchweb.png (320x180) [110.4 KB] || SES_Chamber_Beauty_B-roll_thumbnail_only_web.png (320x180) [110.4 KB] || SES_Chamber_Beauty_B-roll_thumbnail_only_thm.png (80x40) [7.4 KB] || SES_Chamber_Beauty_B-roll_59.97-h264.webm (1280x720) [16.6 MB] || SES_Chamber_Beauty_B-roll_59.97_ProRes_master.mov (1920x1080) [4.2 GB] || SES_Chamber_Beauty_B-roll_59.97-h264.mov (1280x720) [123.0 MB] || ", "hits": 56 }, { "id": 4243, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4243/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-03-03T13:00:00-05:00", "title": "Volume-Rendered Global Atmospheric Model: Photorealistic Rendering", "description": "This is a photorealistic rendering of clouds using GEOS-5 model data.

Lower than a typical satellite's orbit, higher than where most planes fly, this upper atmosphere jet stream makes a perfect target for a particular kind of scientific experiment: the sounding rocket. Some 35 to 40 feet long, sounding rockets shoot up into the sky for short journeys of eight to ten minutes, allowing scientists to probe difficult-to-reach layers of the atmosphere.In March, NASA will launch five such rockets in approximately five minutes to study these high-altitude winds and their intimate connection to the complicated electrical current patterns that surround Earth. First noticed in the 1960s, the winds in this jet stream shouldn't be confused with the lower jet stream located around 30,000 feet, through which passenger jets fly and which is reported in weather forecasts. This rocket experiment is designed to gain a better understanding of the high-altitude winds and help scientists better model the electromagnetic regions of space that can damage man-made satellites and disrupt communications systems. The experiment will also help explain how the effects of atmospheric disturbances in one part of the globe can be transported to other parts of the globe in a mere day or two.The five sounding rockets, known as the Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment (ATREX), will launch from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia releasing a chemical tracer into the air.

Temperatures in Moscow soared to an average of 104 °F (40 °C) during late July and early August — more than 18 °F (10 °C) above normal. Hundreds of fires broke out producing some $15 million in damages. The heat and smoke killed about 56,000 people, making the Russian wildfires fires one of the most lethal natural disasters of the year.Meanwhile, some 930 kilometers (1,500 miles) away, relentless rainfall was simultaneously pounding Pakistan and generating intense flooding. The Pakistan Meteorological Department reported nationwide rain totals 70 percent above normal in July and 102 percent above normal in August.New research conducted by William Lau, an atmospheric scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., suggests the two seemingly disconnected events were actually closely linked.Under normal circumstances, the jet stream pushes weather fronts through Eurasia in four or five days, but something unusual happened in July of 2010. A large-scale, stagnant weather pattern — known as an Omega blocking event — slowed the Rossby wave over Russia and prevented the normal progression of weather systems from west to east.As a result, a large region of high-pressure formed over Russia trapping a hot, dry air mass over the area. As the high lingered, the land surface dried and the normal transfer of moisture from the soil to the atmosphere slowed. Precipitation ceased, vegetation dried out, and the region became a taiga tinderbox.Meanwhile, the blocking pattern created unusual downstream wind patterns over Pakistan. Areas of low pressure on the leading edge of the Rossby wave formed in response to the high, pulling cold, dry Siberian air into lower latitudes.This cold air from Siberia clashed with warm, moist air arriving over Pakistan from the Bay of Bengal as part of the monsoon. There's nothing unusual about moisture moving north over India toward the Himalayas. It's a normal part of the monsoon. However, in this case, the unusual wind patterns associated with the blocking high brought upper level air disturbances farther south than typical, which in effect helped shifted the entire monsoon system north and west.This brought heavy monsoon rains — centered over parts of India — squarely over the northern part of Pakistan, a region ill-prepared to handle large amounts of rain. || ", "hits": 47 }, { "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.

In the southern hemisphere, a belt of mid-tropospheric air containing enhanced concentrations of carbon dioxide emerged between 30 and 40 degrees south latitude. This belt had not previously been seen in any chemistry transport model. Subtropical storms track through this region, as do the cloud bands of the intertropical convergence zone near the equator, an area of low atmospheric pressure that forms where northeast and southeast trade winds meet.The researchers believe strong convection (thunderstorms) in this belt, and South America's high Andes Mountains, lift carbon dioxide from major sources on Earth's surface, such as the respiration of plants, forest fires and facilities for producing synthetic fuels and generating power. This carbon dioxide is then carried into the 'free troposphere,' the part of the troposphere that is too high to be influenced by Earth's surface. There, it becomes trapped in the mid-latitude jet stream, which transports it rapidly around the world. For more information on AIRS, visit the AIRS Project Web Site: http://airs.jpl.nasa.gov.

A check up of the Earth's planetary health reveals that the lowest rung in the ocean food chain is shrinking. For the past 20 years (early 1980s to present), phytoplankton concentrations declined as much as 30 percent in northern oceans. Scientists from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and Oregon State University say warmer ocean temperatures and low winds may be depriving the tiny ocean plants of necessary nutrients. However, they still do not know if the loss of phytoplankton is a long-term trend or a climate oscillation. Scientists can monitor ocean and planetary health through phytoplankton. Since the whole ocean food chain depends on the health and productivity of phytoplankton, a significant change could indicate a shift in our climate. Phytoplankton consists of many diverse species of microscopic free-floating ocean plants that form the base of the ocean's food chain. These plants thrive on sunlight and nutrients. Limit either one and phytoplankton will not grow. This animation shows the Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI) in red and the net primary production NPP anomaly in units of Tgrams carbon per month in green. The MEI is a multivariate index that incorporates sea level pressure, surface zonal and meridional wind components, sea surface temperature, surface air temperature, and cloudiness (Wolter and Timlin, 1998). The MEI index is calculated for the tropical Pacific (i.e., between 10 degrees North and 10 degrees South, from Asia to the Americas) with units of kg m-3. The Net Primary Production (NPP) data was generated from the Vertically Generalized Production Model (VGPM).

It was also shown during the SIGGRAPH 2008 Computer Animation Festival in Los Angeles, CA. 'Towers in the Tempest' is a 4.5 minute narrated animation that explains recent scientific insights into how hurricanes intensify. This intensification can be caused by a phenomenon called a 'hot tower'. For the first time, research meteorologists have run complex simulations using a very fine temporal resolution of 3 minutes. Combining this simulation data with satellite observations enables detailed study of 'hot towers'. The science of 'hot towers' is described using: observed hurricane data from a satellite, descriptive illustrations, and volumetric visualizations of simulation data. The first section of the animation shows actual data from Hurricane Bonnie observed by NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) spacecraft. Three dimensional precipitation radar data reveal a strong 'hot tower' in Hurricane Bonnie's internal structure. The second section uses illustrations to show the dynamics of a hurricane and the formation of 'hot towers'. 'Hot towers' are formed as air spirals inward towards the eye and is forced rapidly upwards, accelerating the movement of energy into high altitude clouds. The third section shows these processes using volumetric cloud, wind, and vorticity data from a supercomputer simulation of Hurricane Bonnie. Vertical wind speed data highlights a 'hot tower'. Arrows representing the wind field move rapidly up into the 'hot tower, boosting the energy and intensifying the hurricane. Combining satellite observations with super-computer simulations provides a powerful tool for studying Earth's complex systems. The complete script is available here .

A normal Bermuda High often leads to hurricanes moving up the east coast and out to sea.

The thermal energy in these warm waters powers the hurricanes.
