Researchers will compare readings from both the satellites to ensure the accuracy of the new satellite and to precisely calibrate its instruments. Then the new Sentinel-6 will take over as the primary tool for measuring sea-level rise. “Data from Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich will help us evaluat...
“A key to making the interface tool work is cloud computing,” Larour said. Instead of burdening your own computer with heavy demand, “you can access a JPL cloud to run big simulations.” The VESL platform allows the user to control one or two parameters for each model scenario...
We had some challenges with planetary terrain. On Mars, there are no oceans and the elevation can extend several kilometers above/below “sea level” elevation. Because of that, we couldn’t use the heightmap format so I ended up writing a quantized mesh tiler to handle the terrain. In a...
On June 12 at 4:05 a.m. EDT (0905 UTC), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite provided a visible image of Vayu. Vayu's center was off the western coast of India, in the Arabian Sea. Although hurricane-strength, the MODIS image ...
NASA Eyes on the Earth also lets you use the satellites’ gathered data to monitor Earth’s vital signs, including carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide readings as well as sea level and soil moisture levels, with a new update to the tool this week incorporating even more datasets. ...
NASA and other federal agencies launched a new website last week that shows past, present, and future sea level rise along America’s coastlines. It combines data from satellites with readings from sensors on the ground to create aninteractive map. ...
NASA’s Gavin Schmidt has provided some bizarre advice, for people building homes on the sea front, which might not be “sea level rise smart”. According to the Vancouver Sun interview with Gavin; Q: What is the future for waterfront cities like Vancouver? A: You are going to have to ...
With this software package, we provide fast and easy-to-use Julia scripts to compute steric sea level and OHC from global gridded estimates of temperature and salinity. These estimates can for example come from observations from the Argo network, but the scripts can in principle also process fi...
“This project is pioneering the research in this field by providing Qatar — and the whole scientific community — an innovative tool that will bring key responses in the field, support the decision-making process in terms of water resources, and help identify pathways to secure access to ...
