The story of this NASA-led satellite bathymetry experiment unfolds through the photography and expedition documents preserved by David Lychenheim, the expedition’s communications engineer. Research done during that expedition determined that in certain conditions Landsat could measure depths up to 22 meters (72 feet), which gave birth to the field of satellite-derived bathymetry. This new technology enabled charts in clear water areas around the world to be revised, helping boats and deep-drafted supertankers avoid running aground on hazardous shoals or seamounts.Music: “Science of Life,” “Moving In Thought,” and “The Right Move” by Andrew Michael Britton [PRS] & David Stephen Goldsmith [PRS], “Midsummer” by Uwe Buschkotter [GEMA], “The Grand Opening” by Laurent Dury [SACEM], “Drifting Satellite” by Théo Boulenger [SACEM], “Man and Machine” by Larry Groupe [BMI], “A Little Optimism 1” by Joel Goodman [ASCAP], “Easy Does It” by Alchemist [SIAE], “Variations” by Stephan Sechi [ASCAP], “Bright and Playful” by Oscar Lo Brutto [PRS]; via Universal Production MusicComplete transcript available.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel. || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau_poster.png (1920x1080) [3.1 MB] || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau_poster_print.jpg (1024x576) [287.2 KB] || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau_poster_searchweb.png (320x180) [114.6 KB] || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau_poster_thm.png (80x40) [8.1 KB] || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau-pr.mov (1920x1080) [7.2 GB] || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau-yt.mp4 (1920x1080) [938.3 MB] || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau-tw.mp4 (1280x720) [301.1 MB] || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau-tw.webm (1280x720) [59.6 MB] || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau-captions.en_US.srt [11.3 KB] || 13907_Landsat_Cousteau-captions.en_US.vtt [10.8 KB] || ", "hits": 79 }, { "id": 12772, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12772/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2021-05-05T10:25:00-04:00", "title": "2017 Hurricanes and Aerosols Simulation", "description": "Tracking aerosols over land and water from August 1 to November 1, 2017.

Aerosols come from both natural and human sources and include things like sea salt, dust, soot, and sulfates. Aerosols often contribute to air pollution and poor visibility. Once they are in the atmosphere, they can travel long distances, affecting air quality far from their source. Aerosols also absorb or reflect energy (light), influencing temperatures in the atmosphere and on the ground. Satellites measure aerosols by how much light can pass through them. A thick layer of aerosols will block the ground from view, while a thin layer allows enough light through to see the ground. The measurement is called aerosol optical thickness.The GEOS model is built on satellite data and provides a forecast of aerosol optical thickness (among other things). This animation shows a daily updated 10-day forecast of aerosol optical thickness from GEOS. The date and timestamp are in the lower left corner. In general, brighter colors are thick aerosols, while dull darker colors are thin aerosols. Blue represents sea salt (sea salt extinction aerosol optical thickness, 550 nm). Winds blowing across the ocean kicks up ocean spray, which includes sea salt. In the animation, pale blue to white colors reflect stormy conditions. Individual large storms like tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons) are visible as swirling circles of thick sea salt. Red represents dust (dust extinction aerosol optical thickness, 550 nm). The Saharan Desert of northern Africa is the largest source of dust, but dust can be seen across the globe. Saharan dust often interacts with tropical cyclones.Green represents the sum of aerosol optical thickness for organic carbon, black carbon, and sulfate. Organic and black carbon come from burning biomass or fossil fuels. Sources include fires, power plants, vehicles, and other combustion engines that run on fossil fuel. Sulfate particles come mostly from burning fossil fuels, but also from volcanoes. || gmao_aerosols_print.jpg (1024x576) [201.6 KB] || gmao_aerosols_searchweb.png (320x180) [108.3 KB] || gmao_aerosols.00001_thm.png (80x40) [7.0 KB] || gmao_aerosols.mp4 (1920x962) [16.2 MB] || gmao_aerosols.webm (1920x962) [1.5 MB] || latest-wdates (2239x1123) [0 Item(s)] || latest-nodates (2239x1123) [0 Item(s)] || gmao_aerosols.mp4.hwshow [191 bytes] || ", "hits": 75 }, { "id": 4544, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4544/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2017-05-26T10:30:00-04:00", "title": "2015-2016 El Niño: Daily Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly and Ocean Currents", "description": "This visualization shows 2015-2016 El Nino through changes in sea surface temperature and ocean currents.

The research is the first to look at global, long-term phytoplankton community trends based on a model driven by NASA satellite data. Diatoms, the largest type of phytoplankton algae, have declined more than 1 percent per year from 1998 to 2012 globally, with significant losses occurring in the North Pacific, North Indian and Equatorial Indian oceans. The reduction in population may have an impact on the amount of carbon dioxide drawn out of the atmosphere and transferred to the deep ocean for long-term storage. || ", "hits": 70 }, { "id": 11973, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11973/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2015-08-17T18:00:00-04:00", "title": "Lakes On A Glacier", "description": "A view of Greenland's ice sheet from the NASA/USGS Landsat 8 satellite, narrated by Dr. Allen Pope.

West Antarctic Ice Sheet appears to be in an irreversible state of decline, with nothing to stop the glaciers in this area from melting into the sea according to glaciologist and lead author Eric Rignot, of UC Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.Three major lines of evidence point to the glaciers' eventual demise: the changes in their flow speeds, how much of each glacier floats on seawater, and the slope and depth of the terrain they are flowing over. In a paper in April, Rignot's research group discussed the steadily increasing flow speeds of these glaciers over the past 40 years. This new study examines the other two lines of evidence.As glaciers flow out from land to the ocean, large expanses of ice behind their leading edges float on the seawater. The point on a glacier where it first loses contact with land is called the grounding line. Nearly all glacier melt occurs on the underside of the glacier beyond the grounding line, on the section floating on seawater. The Antarctic glaciers studied have thinned so much they are now floating above places where they used to sit solidly on land, which means their grounding lines are retreating inland.—>
