Microscopic marine plants (called phytoplankton) contain chlorophyll, a green pigment they use during photosynthesis. Using satellite sensors, we can measure chlorophyll concentrations in oceans, lakes and seas to indicate the distribution and abundance of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are the base of the marine food chain and, therefore, are a good indicator of the abundance of life in a body of water.

Scientists monitor global snow cover to better understand short- and long-term environmental and climatic conditions. On a seasonal scale, the depth and extent of the winter snowpack influence water availability and soil moisture, which, in turn, affect agriculture and wildfire potential. In many places around the world, the melting of the winter snowpack is the major source of fresh water in the spring and summer.

GOES satellites provide the kind of continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. They circle the Earth in a geosynchronous orbit, which means they orbit the equatorial plane of the Earth at a speed matching the Earth's rotation. This allows them to hover continuously over one position on the surface.

Hurricane/Tropical Cyclone Tracking

by arlene laing - Thursday, July 20, 2006, 11:22 AM

Hurricane Tracking Simulator

http://www.meted.ucar.edu/hurrican/movncane

The Hurricane Track Simulator is based on a simplification of the basic factors that cause hurricanes to move. The primary effect is that the storm simply moves with the wind from the much larger weather systems surrounding the storm. These weather systems are represented by idealized easterly (from east to west) trade winds near the equator, westerly winds further north, the Bermuda high pressure system, and a low pressure area near the U.S. east coast. In reality, the structure of the wind surrounding the storm is much more complicated and changes with time as the hurricane moves. Also, the northwesterly drift due to the storm is much more variable than that included in the hurricane simulator. However, these simplified wind patterns are able to generate reasonable storm tracks.

A tutorial on the basics of atmospheric remote sensing. This Website was developed for undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory earth or atmospheric science course. It is designed to supplement lecture and textbooks. Its goal is to make you a better consumer of weather information by providing dynamic graphics, animations, and science content about remote sensing, visible and infrared satellite imagery, and hurricanes. As part of the module, you will apply what you've learned by exploring recent hurricanes through satellite imagery. When you have completed this module, you should be able to view satellite imagery in a typical weather forecast on TV or the Web and recognize the importance of some features.

MODIS Project

by Donald Perkey - Thursday, July 20, 2006, 1:41 PM

http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/

MODIS (or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument aboard the Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) satellites. Terra's orbit around the Earth is timed so that it passes from north to south across the equator in the morning, while Aqua passes south to north over the equator in the afternoon. Terra MODIS and Aqua MODIS are viewing the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths (see MODIS Technical Specifications). These data will improve our understanding of global dynamics and processes occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere. MODIS is playing a vital role in the development of validated, global, interactive Earth system models able to predict global change accurately enough to assist policy makers in making sound decisions concerning the protection of our environment.
