to measure sunlight reflected from Earth. It will help us understand how much heat is being trapped by our planet’s atmosphere. Her mission is designed to help us get a clearer picture than we currently have of the Earth’s system and how it is changing
Although I had learned about Earth remote sensing in my classes, this was my first taste of working with, and understanding the details of, how we could learn more about different aspects of the physical world from satellite measurements. I see jigsaw puzzles as a good illustration of how different members of a science community play a diverse set of roles to work through different problems. Each member is often working on their own image within the greater puzzle, and although it might take them years of work to see their part of the picture come together, each image in the greater puzzle is essential to completing the whole thing.

Earth NASA we can use sound energy by producing sound waves which causes energy we can reuse the sound energy to refuel the producer which means we will have a infinite source of energy
Earth how pretty

Earth Hello NASA happy Ocean Day. that is an amazing image of the Pale Blue Dot. This our home in the universe , and seeing it makes me realize how fragile it`s biosphere is which is astonishing. I hope we can preserve and cherish the Pale Blue Dot the only home we have right now.
doctorcop Earth As well, ongoing measurements of ocean conditions can help refine predictions of how fast the ice in Greenland is expected to shrink in the future and how glaciers' impact on ice-ocean interactions evolves.
doctorcop Earth Probes dropped from aircraft along Greenland's coast to measure how water temperature and salinity change with depth, together with data from surveys via boat and observational data collected by Landset satellites enable to get a detailed perspective on how glaciers are melting.
Earth A fantastic opportunity to measure climate change in our oceans, and perhaps find some solutions to the continuing problem of plastic pollution which is making some areas of ocean uninhabitable. Climate change and pollution must be tackled Simultaneously!
doctorcop Earth 2021 is the sixth year of the OMG mission and the research team is planning the campaign for the summer.
doctorcop Earth Research from January 2021 from NASA's Ocean Melting Greenland (OMG) mission reveals the accelerated retreat of glaciers in Greenland as a results of climate warming.
doctorcop Earth Their team placed moorings in front of three important glaciers in northwestern Greenland, with instruments including acoustic recorders and OMG data loggers attached to mooring chains, aimed to log the ocean temperature and conductivity and the detection of narwhales.
doctorcop Earth In 2019, Dr. Kristin Laidre and Dr. Ian Fenty OMG co-principal investigator from JPL were on the west side of Greenland with the airborne OMG team on a six-day research cruise.
doctorcop Earth Narwhals may also be attracted to subsurface freshwater melt at the glacier face.
doctorcop Earth Narwhals prefer glaciers with potential for higher ambient freshwater melt over other glaciers and they also prefer summer freshwater habitats.
doctorcop Earth When melting ice falls into the sea, it brings some food such as plankton or krill at the surface.
doctorcop Earth Narwhals like melting glaciers, as they may increase their food opportunities.
doctorcop Earth Glacial melt water is strongly correlated to the presence of melt water nutrients and phytoplankton blooms.
doctorcop Earth Some marine animals, including the whales feed on zooplankton.
doctorcop Earth But at night some species migrate to the surface to feed on phytoplankton and then go back to the depths at sunrise.
doctorcop Earth Some zooplankton live near the ocean’s surface all their lives. Others live in the twilight zone from 200 meters to 1000 meters below, where there is almost no sunlight.
doctorcop Earth Microscopic phytoplankton are an ideal food for small zooplankton, diverse animals, some single-cell and microscopic, others such as shrimp-like krill and jellyfish visible.
doctorcop Earth Narwhals are skilled at living much of their life at deep depths beneath a thick layer of dense ice.
doctorcop Earth Narwhals spend the winter in this region, virtually surrounded by dense winter pack ice, feeding on Greenland halibut, a deep water fish, diving to about 1800 meter, near the sea floor.
doctorcop Earth As fall begins, the narwhals migrate southward.
doctorcop Earth In the summer, retreating ice allows narwhals to access their summering grounds in sheltered inlets, bays and fjords along the Canadian Arctic coast and northwest Greenland.
doctorcop Earth The narwhals proved to be effective 'oceanographers', providing ocean climatology information that could help scientists understand the transfer of heat throughout the ocean.
doctorcop Earth Dr. Kristin Laidre, a marine biologist at the Polar Science Center in the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington studies narwhals, whales living in Greenland, some of the few mammal animals that could benefit from the melting glaciers ice.
doctorcop Earth The OMG research study is designed to measure the seasonal tide and flow of the glaciers using satellites, temperature and salinity probes airborne and ship-based observations of the sea floor and also some species of whales.
doctorcop Earth In 2019, for the third year in a row, NASA OMG reasearchers were in Greenland on an airborne campaign to drop about 250 probes just offshore all around the island, some drops close to the fronts of ocean-terminating glaciers.
doctorcop Earth The research published on June 21, 2018 in the journal 'Oceanography' highlighted the critical role of oceans in glaciers ice loss.
doctorcop Earth The plume is smaller and colder, about 31 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 0.5 degree Celsius).
doctorcop Earth But between 2000 and 2014, their rates of retreat diverged dramatically.
doctorcop Earth It turns out that from the 1980s through the 1990s, Tracy and Heilprin retreated at similar rates, about 38 and 36 meters per year, accordingly.
doctorcop Earth Glaciers in this region have retreated significantly in the last 15 years, due to climate warming.
doctorcop Earth Tracy has melted more than three times faster than Heilprin, it turns out.
doctorcop Earth Tracy and Heilprin are two neighboring outlet glaciers in northwest Greenland, the largest glaciers that drain into Inglefield Bredning, a fjord about 20 km wide. The two glaciers have been monitored since 1987, by the 'Thematic Mapper' on Landsat-5.
doctorcop Earth In the 125 years that the two glaciers have been monitored, Heilprin has retreated upstream less than 2.5 miles. Instead, Tracy has retreated more than 9.5 miles.
doctorcop Earth The two glaciers have been monitored by scientists since 1892, partially due to their different nature.
doctorcop Earth Tracy and Heilprin are the largest glaciers draining into Inglefield Bredning. Although they are so near to each other, they behave very differently.
doctorcop Earth Tracy and Heilprin drain relatively small areas, 2,967 and 8,760 square km, compared to 73,817 square km for Petermann.
doctorcop Earth The fastest glaciers in the northeast of Greenland are Tracy, Heilprin and Petermann.
doctorcop Earth Measurements of ice velocity help to identify areas of fast flow, to study the dynamics of ice deformation related to climate change, to estimate the impact of flow rates on the glacier history and to build numerical models of ice sheet evolution in time.
doctorcop Earth The ice flow speed varies from a few cm per year near topographic divides to a few km per year along fast moving outlet glaciers.
doctorcop Earth With an area of 1.71 million km2 and an ice volume of 2.85 million km3, the Greenland 'Ice Sheet' is mostly drained by a few hundred outlet glaciers.
doctorcop Earth The decline of the Arctic sea ice cover has many effects, from changes in climate and weather patterns to impacts on plants and animals which depend on ice, and to the indigenous human communities that rely on them.
doctorcop Earth Arctic sea ice has been declining both during the growing and melting seasons in recent decades.
doctorcop Earth The ice then thins and shrinks during the spring and summer until it reaches the annual minimum extent in September.
doctorcop Earth Every year, the sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean and surrounding seas thickens and expands during the fall and winter, reaching maximum yearly extent sometime between late February and early April.
doctorcop Earth IceBridge continuously recorded changes in polar ice elevation after the end of NASA’s Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) mission in 2009.
doctorcop Earth * a high-resolution camera to create color maps of polar ice, * an imager that takes spectral measurements over hundreds of wavelengths, * infrared cameras to measure surface temperatures of the sea and land ice.
doctorcop Earth The scientific instruments included: * a dual-color laser altimeter transmitting both infrared and green laser pulses to measure surface elevation, * three types of radar systems to study ice layers and Greenland’s bedrock,
doctorcop Earth NASA's mission was performed on Lockheed Martin's P-3 Orion aircraft.
doctorcop Earth The flights continued until April 27, extending the 10 years-long mapping of the fastest-changing areas of the Greenland Ice Sheet and measuring sea ice thickness across the western Arctic basin.
doctorcop Earth On April 20, the mission relocated to Kangerlussuaq north of the Arctic Circle in central west Greenland, and from that place were launched flights to measure the land ice.
