1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,100
When it comes to extreme weather, commercial,
federal, state and local agencies need all

2
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:12,469
the fast and reliable data they can get to
make the best decisions with things are uncertain.

3
00:00:12,469 --> 00:00:18,340
Bass: Weather is responsible for more traffic delays,
delays and diversions than any other reason.

4
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:23,970
So that satellite data and the tools they
provide help the traffic flow managers in

5
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:29,690
both the FAA and for the airlines to gain
a better understanding of those hazards are,

6
00:00:29,690 --> 00:00:35,989
where they're at, and what they're forecast
to be so we can either mitigate them or just

7
00:00:35,989 --> 00:00:42,219
work around them. From the vantage point from
space, NASA and partner satellites provide

8
00:00:42,219 --> 00:00:48,420
critical information to aviation, shipping,
state transportation departments and logistics

9
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:54,940
industries. NASA's cutting-edge technology
brings unprecedented views of the Earth, giving

10
00:00:54,940 --> 00:01:01,699
us a closer look inside cloud systems, lightning,
dangerous storms, severe weather over land

11
00:01:01,699 --> 00:01:09,440
and far offshore, beyond what traditional
radars can observe. Warrillow: We are a met ocean data

12
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:16,510
analytics company, and we do numerical modeling
to describe the ocean in four dimensions.

13
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:22,660
He: We have this numerical prediction capabilities
to essentially tell people, the users,

14
00:01:22,660 --> 00:01:27,420
the ocean conditions, the currents, temperature,
waves, and so on and so forth in any part

15
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:32,950
of the globe ocean. The information gathered
by satellites can help decision makers adapt

16
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:39,420
to quickly changing situations and make travel
and transport safer and more efficient. NASA

17
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:45,620
is creating awareness of precipitation and
cloud data to help inform critical operation

18
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:48,706
decisions today and into the future.
