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.
