Movie ID Title
The full NPP 'Blue Marble' image of the Earth   30002   NPP Blue Marble
This image of Earth's city lights at night shows the spatial distribution, or arrangement, of human settlements. White areas of light show urbanized areas where population is typically large. As you look at the image, you can see the pattern of this distribution. Cities are along coastlines and transportation networks. The image was created with data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS). The OLS sensor orbits Earth, acquiring one swath, or area, of data at a time. The swaths are processed to find non-cloudy picture elements, or pixels. Over the course of a year, all non-cloudy pixels for a particular location on Earth are averaged to produce a global grayscale image. The color image you see in this image is created by combining the grayscale DMSP image with a version of the Blue Marble: Next Generation (BMNG) image that is modified to appear more   30003   Earth's City Lights

Sea Surface Temperature (1 month - Aqua/AMSR-E) Sea surface temperature is the temperature of the top millimeter of the ocean's surface and may be useful for predicting conditions favorable for cholera outbreaks. Seasonal warming of the waters allows phytoplankton to thrive. The surge in phytoplankton is followed by blooms of zooplankton that are associated with increases in cholera bacteria (Colwell, 2008). This animation covers June 2002 through September 2011.   30012   NASA's Earth Observatory for the Hyperwall
The NOAA Center for Tsunami Research, located at NOAA PMEL in Seattle, WA runs the MOST model and produced this dataset. The main objective of the forecast model is to provide an estimate of wave arrival time, wave height and inundation area immediately after a tsunami event. The yellow dots mark the locations of the DART buoys. The final frames of this dataset show the maximum wave amplitude and the arrival time of the tsunami wave.   30013   NOAA Visualization of Japanese Tsunami, 2011
