SWOT: Eirth science satellite will help communities plan for a better future
NASA's Earth science satellites orbit our planet, providing invaluable insights into its various ecosystems. These satellites monitor the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice, aiding in understanding climate change and its impacts. By collecting data on temperature, precipitation, sea levels, and more, they contribute to vital research.
These satellites play a crucial role in tracking natural disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis, and wildfires, enabling early warning systems that save lives. They help scientists study ocean currents, atmospheric composition, and vegetation health, offering a comprehensive view of our planet's interconnected systems.
One notable satellite is the Aqua satellite, launched in 2002, which focuses on Earth's water cycle, measuring parameters like evaporation, cloud properties, and soil moisture. Another, the Landsat series, provides long-term observations of Earth's land surfaces, assisting in urban planning, agriculture, and forestry management.
Through advanced technology, these satellites provide data that informs policy decisions and encourages sustainable practices. They emphasize the importance of international cooperation in addressing global environmental challenges. As technology advances, NASA's Earth science satellites continue to offer a clearer picture of our planet's health and its changing environment.
