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": 41 }, { "id": 4361, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4361/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-09-28T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "Does What Happens in the Arctic Stay in the Arctic?", "description": "This gallery was created for Earth Science Week 2015 and beyond.

Read all the blogs and find educational resources for all ages at: the Earth Science Week 2015 page.It all began with my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Benner. Back then my school had a weather station and one day she had asked me to collect wind speed and temperature data. I soon found myself in charge of the morning weather forecast and soon this was my favorite part of the day. Little did I know that in the years that would follow, I’d pursue my passion for clouds and meteorology to become a research scientist at NASA. Working at NASA is every bit as cool as it sounds! Everyday is different and I always find myself working with new scientific tools to uncover mysteries about our planet Earth. Lately I’ve been studying the cryosphere, or the world’s frozen places, where I’m using scientific visualizations to understand the impacts of climate change in the Arctic. In particular I’m focusing on melting sea ice to understand how it affects Arctic cloud formation.Arctic clouds are made up of tiny liquid droplets and ice particles that form from condensation and then freezing of water vapor. Water vapor is a necessary ingredient for Arctic cloud formation, and evaporation from the Arctic Ocean can serve as an important source of water vapor. But when sea ice sits on the Arctic Ocean it acts as a lid that prevents evaporation and may limit Arctic cloud formation. Over the past decade the amount of Arctic sea ice has declined dramatically and we think this trend may be influencing Arctic cloud formation.I created a visualization showing the hypothesized response of clouds to melting in sea ice (below). The difference between the left panel, \"Current Conditions,\" and the right panel, \"Future Conditions,\" is that less sea ice in the future leads to more evaporation, and more evaporation leads to more water vapor and increased cloudiness. This hypothesis is where I base my research, using state-of-the-art NASA satellite instruments including CALIPSO and CloudSAT. || ", "hits": 38 }, { "id": 30496, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30496/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2015-03-17T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Earth Observing Fleet", "description": "Like orbiting sentinels, NASA’s Earth-observing satellites vigilantly monitor our planet’s ever-changing pulse from their unique vantage points in orbit.

The close proximity of the different spacecraft within the A-Train allows for coincident observations between instruments on different spacecrafts, providing scientists additional capabilities in their pursuit of answers about the Earth and its climate. Upon joining the A-train, Glory will help researchers better understand two critical forcings of Earth's climate: atmospheric aerosols and total solar irradiance. || ", "hits": 28 }, { "id": 20172, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/20172/", "result_type": "Animation", "release_date": "2008-07-23T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Cloudsat - Prints Still Images - Wallpaper", "description": "Stills from the animation series, suitable for framing. || Cloudsat Print #1 || Cloudsat4-PRINT.jpg (2880x1944) [3.1 MB] || Cloudsat4-PRINT_web.png (320x216) [379.9 KB] || Cloudsat4-PRINT_thm.png (80x40) [31.1 KB] || Cloudsat4-PRINT_searchweb.png (320x180) [109.1 KB] || Cloudsat4-PRINT.tif (2880x1944) [16.1 MB] || Cloudsat Print #2 || Cloudsat5-PRINT.jpg (2880x1944) [2.7 MB] || Cloudsat5-PRINT_web.png (320x216) [356.7 KB] || Cloudsat5-PRINT.tif (2880x1944) [21.4 MB] || ", "hits": 9 }, { "id": 20147, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/20147/", "result_type": "Animation", "release_date": "2008-07-15T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Cloudsat", "description": "Cloudsat traverses the Earth || Cloudsat traversing Earth || clou000100002_print.jpg (1024x768) [72.1 KB] || clou0001_web.png (320x216) [337.2 KB] || clou0001_thm.png (80x40) [16.3 KB] || clou0001_searchweb.png (320x180) [64.5 KB] || Cloudsat_NTSC.webmhd.webm (960x540) [2.6 MB] || 720x486_4x3_30p (720x486) [16.0 KB] || Cloudsat_640x480.m1v (640x480) [8.8 MB] || Cloudsat_NTSC.m2v (720x480) [9.8 MB] || a010290_Cloudsat_NTSC.mp4 (640x480) [2.3 MB] || Cloudsat_320x240.m1v (320x240) [3.5 MB] || ", "hits": 17 }, { "id": 3437, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/3437/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2007-07-22T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "The A-Train Observes Tropical Storm Debby", "description": "The A-Train is a group of spacecraft flying in close formation allowing data taken by each instrument to be correlated to the other instruments providing data synergy.

Time slows down, and A-train spacecraft orbits are added during a daytime pass. The orbits progress around the globe for 12 hours. During a night time pass the camera zooms into Tropical Storm Debby as the A-train flies over on August 24, 2006. Data sets from some of the A-train's spacecraft/instruments are shown including Aqua/MODIS, CloudSat, CALIPSO, and Aqua/AIRS.

These clouds play a role in how much infrared energy is trapped in Earth's atmosphere. NASA's Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling (TC4) mission, which runs from July 16, 2007 through August 8, 2007, aims to document the full lifecycle of these clouds. Observations from four A-Train satellites flying in formation will complement the aircraft measurements with large-scale views of many different features of the atmosphere. Observations from this mission along with previous studies will improve our understanding of what effect a warming climate with rising ocean temperatures will have on these cloud systems. These images over Central America, produced in support of the TC4 mission, show a tropical storm system over Central and South America on August 2, 2006 as measured from multiple satellite sensors, including Aqua MODIS, CloudSat and CALIPSO. In this view from the Pacific Ocean, Panama is on the left and South America is shown on the right. In the following series of still images, each satellite's measurement is shown individually and in combination with the others from the same camera viewpoint.

This region is important in that it is one of the primary regions of tropical cyclogenesis, where Atlantic hurricanes form.
