The new data will help scientists monitor changes in global sea level and the distribution of heat in the ocean. This information is used to monitor climate change and ocean circulation, and to enable more accurate weather, ocean and climate forecasts. The data reveal patterns of sea level anomalies, which are used by scientists to calculate the speed and direction of ocean surface currents. pdboyer Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:11:27 GMT http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/greenland_flights.html Imagine a piece of ice 1,000 miles long, 400 miles wide, and 2 miles thick in the center. That's the Greenland ice sheet. But that island-sized piece of ice is melting, so NASA researchers are flying to the Arctic this week to learn more about the nature of those changes. pdboyer Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:02:20 GMT http://nasascience.nasa.gov/educators pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://nsidc.org pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://www.education.noaa.gov/Ocean_and_Coasts/ The ocean covers 71 percent of the Earth's surface and contains 97 percent of the planet's water, yet more than 95 percent of the underwater world remains unexplored. The ocean and large inland lakes play an integral role in many of the Earth's systems including climate and weather. More than 50% of all species on Earth are found under the ocean and the ocean helps sustain human life above the water by providing 20 percent of the animal protein and five percent of the total protein in the human diet. In the US alone, there are over 95,000 miles of shoreline. More than half of the US population lives within 50 miles of the coast in the narrow area of land known as the "coastal zone." pdboyer Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:58:24 GMT
