NASA Climate Watcher Waves Goodbye

Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich will join a long-standing family of Earth observing satellites from NASA and European partners.

Jason-CS/Sentinel-6 - How they will work

Sea Surface Height 01/2006-04/2010

SSH and SST - Indian Ocean

NASA and its partners announced the renaming of the mission, previously known as Sentinel-6A/Jason-CS.

Sea level rise is an indicator that our planet is warming. When ice on land, such as mountain glaciers or the ice sheets of Greenland or Antarctica, melts, that water contributes to sea level rise.

Sea Surface Height - Global Average from 1993 - 2011.

To provide scientists with essential information about global and regional changes in the seas, NASA will launch the Jason-3 satellite from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

Experts from NASA, ESA, EUMETSAT, and NOAA discuss the upcoming launch of Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich in a recorded live broadcast

El Niño/La Niña - (12/1996 - 01/2000)

Sea Level Isn't Level - Why it matters

This animation illustrates the evolution of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies (relative to the respective normal state) in the Pacific Ocean associated with the 2015-2016 El Niño.

For NASA engineer Shannon Statham, building spacecraft is all about being creative.

B-roll for media. The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich is an Earth-observing satellite that will collect data on sea level and how it changes over time. By measuring sea surface height, scientists world...

Oceans of Climate Change

Ice covers 10 percent of Earth's surface and helps moderate the planet's temperature.

The joint U.S.-European Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich is the next in a line of Earth-observing satellites that will collect the most accurate data yet on sea level and how it changes over time. With ...

SSH and SST - Global

This video discusses the water cycle, which is the movement of water around the Earth, and its importance to life. Changes to the water cycle affect climate and vice versa.

Sea levels across the globe are rising as a result of a changing climate — and the rate at which they are rising is accelerating. NASA Science Live was recorded Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2020, and featured...

Here we provide side by side comparisons of Pacific Ocean sea surface height (SSH) anomalies of what is presently happening in 2015 with the Pacific Ocean signal during the famous 1997 El Niño.
