Above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere is the mesosphere. This layer in the Earth’s atmosphere is the highest layer in which the gases are still mixed up rather than layered(not to be confused with the exosphere which is the highest layer in Earth’s atmosphere). The mesosphere ...
A warmer planet doesn’t just raise temperatures. From wildfires to flooding to coral bleaching, here are some real-world implications.
While we only need three satellites to produce a location on earth’s surface, a fourth satellite is often used to validate the information from the other three. The fourth satellite also moves us into the third-dimension and allows us to calculate the altitude of a device. What are the th...
So What Is in an Earth System Model? Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems(IF4.4)Pub Date : 2020-01-29, DOI:10.1029/2019ms001967 C. D. Jones1 Affiliation Use of numerical models is at the heart of climate science. Models underpin process understanding; our ability to explain obse...
A sustainable society is one that functions and lives in such harmony with earth systems that future generations will be able to function with equal or greater ease and the quality of life will in no way be diminished. Evidence of threats to sustainability is found in: global energy use; ...

Another type of digital twin is a data twin. You probably already have a great example of a data twin in your pocket: Google Maps is a digital twin of the Earth’s surface. It links real-time data on traffic to help optimize your commute. ...
The requested information then travels in reverse order through the same path, from the Earth station to the satellite, and down to the user’s dish. In general, low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which are relatively close to the surface of the planet, provide less latency than high-orbit...
UT1 and UTC reaches 0.9 seconds, aleap secondis added to UTC, so our clocks reflect the speed of the Earth's rotation (UT1) as closely as possible. For this reason, while UTC and UT1 are not exactly the same, the difference between the two time standards is always less than a ...
Geographical information systems officer If, as well as the environment, you’re interested in working with data, analytics and computer systems, then this role might suit you. Geographic information systems (GIS) are computerized systems used for thecollection, storage, analysis, management and prese...
