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.

The EPA Global Warming Site is provided as a public service by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. EPA's climate change programs and activities are an integral part of the Agency's mission and purpose. With the Global Warming Site, we strive to present accurate information on the very broad issue of climate change and global warming in a way that is accessible and meaningful to all parts of society – communities, individuals, business, public officials and governments.
