Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems - Terra
3 days ago · Carbon is a fundamental part of the Earth system. It is one of the primary building blocks of all organic matter on Earth and a key element in setting Earth’s temperature. Carbon moves from the atmosphere to the land, ocean, and …
MODIS - Terra
2 days ago · With its sweeping 2,330-km-wide viewing swath, MODIS sees every point on our world every 1-2 days in 36 discrete spectral bands. Consequently, MODIS tracks a wider array of the earth’s vital signs than any other Terra sensor.

Water & Energy Cycle | Terra
4 days ago · When energy from the Sun reaches the Earth, it warms the atmosphere, land, and ocean and evaporates water. The movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere to the land and back to the ocean—the water cycle—is fueled by energy from the Sun.. Changes in the energy cycle will ripple into the water cycle.
Terra | The EOS Flagship
Terra: The EOS Flagship. Terra explores the connections between Earth’s atmosphere, land, snow and ice, ocean, and energy balance to understand Earth’s climate and climate change and to map the impact of human activity and natural disasters on communities and ecosystems
Joint NASA, NOAA Study Finds Earth’s Energy Imbalance Has …
Comparison of overlapping one-year estimates at 6-month intervals of net top-of-the-atmosphere annual energy flux from CERES (solid orange line) and an in situ observational estimate of uptake of energy by Earth climate system (solid turquoise line).

Earth’s Surface & Interior | Terra
3 days ago · The Earth’s surface plays a critical role in the Earth system by interacting with the ocean and the atmosphere. To understand the Earth system, scientists must observe how the Earth’s surface changes as a result of interactions between the atmosphere and ocean (coastal erosion, landslides) and how tectonics and volcanism impact the atmosphere and ocean.
