The map above depicts global temperature anomalies in 2022. It does not show absolute temperatures; instead, it shows how much warmer or cooler each region of Earth was compared to the average from 1951 to 1980. The bar chart below shows 2022 in context with temperature anomalies since 1880...
Greenland. Global warming is shifting the way the Earth wobbles on its polar axis, a new NASA study finds. Melting ice sheets, especially in Greenland, are changing the distribution of weight on Earth. And that has caused both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar ...
HeatmapsProgramming-basedtoolsA new study has verified the accuracy of recent global warming figures. The team used measurements of the 'skin' temperature of the Earth taken by a satellite-based infrared measurement system called AIRS (Atmospheric Infra-Red Sounder) from 2003 to 2017. They ...
NASA captured 20 years of changing seasons in a striking new global map of the home planet. 美国国家航空航天局(NASA)在一幅新的全球地图上捕捉到了20年来的季节变化。 The data visualization shows Earth's fluctuations as seen from space. 这一可视化数据展示了在太空中看到的地球的波动变化。 The pol...
PREFIRE: A Mission to Map Polar Heat Emission About the size of a shoebox, the cube satellites, or CubeSats, comprise a mission called PREFIRE, short forPolar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment. Equipped with technology proven atMars, their objective is to reveal the full spectrum...
A map showing the two-mile-long plume of methane southeast of Carlsbad, New Mexico, detected by NASA's EMIT sensorsNASA / JPL-Caltech An instrument on the International Space Station (ISS) has detected more than 50 sites on Earth that are super-emitters of the potent greenhouse gas met...
A group of former NASA employees, including astronauts, has called on the agency to stop making "unproven and unsubstantiated remarks" regarding global climate change — specifically that human activities are driving global warming. "We believe the claims by NASA and (Goddard Institute for Space Stu...
Our warming Earth: 2024 was hottest year on record, NASA says By Stefanie Waldek published 13 hours ago 2024 was the warmest year on record, according to NASA data. The global average temperature was 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit above the mid-20th-century baseline. Climate Change Photographer capt...
