Taller regions may be warmer regions. This also has implications for global warming/climate change forecasting. Jason-1 measures sea level rise pdboyer Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:27:41 GMT http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ostm/news/ostm-20080730.html Less than a month after launch, the NASA-French space agency Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM)/Jason 2 oceanography satellite has produced its first complete maps of global ocean surface topography, surface wave height and wind speed. 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.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2009-107 Arctic sea ice thinned dramatically between the winters of 2004 and 2008, with thin seasonal ice replacing thick older ice as the dominant type for the first time on record. The new results, based on data from a NASA Earth-orbiting spacecraft, provide further evidence for the rapid, ongoing transformation of the Arctic's ice cover. pdboyer Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:31:55 GMT
