Worldview is an easy-to-use visualization tool that allows users to interactively browse, compare, animate, and download over 1,200 visualized satellite data products. Many of those products are available within hours of being acquired—essentially showing the entire Earth as it looks "right now". This supports time-critical applications, such ...
A graph and an animated time series showing the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures. The year 2023 is the warmest on record.
30 cze 2021 · The upper boundary of the mesosphere, about 50 miles above Earth, is where the coolest atmospheric temperatures are found. It’s also where the neutral atmosphere begins transitioning to the tenuous, electrically charged gases of the ionosphere .
25 sty 2013 · The Earth’s atmosphere has four primary layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. These layers protect our planet by absorbing harmful radiation. Thermosphere 53–375 Miles – In the thermosphere, molecules of oxygen and nitrogen are bombarded by radiation and energetic particles from the Sun, causing the ...
