Terrestrial Hydrosphere - NASA Earthdata Water, snow, and ice are necessary for sustaining life on Earth and help connect the planet's systems The terrestrial hydrosphere includes water on the land surface and underground in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater along with total water storage NASA tracks nearly every aspect of the water cycle — where precipitation is falling, where snow and ice are melting, the amount of
Water Temperature | NASA Earthdata Water temperature is an essential parameter in evaluating the composition and biological activity in a water body The temperature of lakes, rivers, and oceans affects the health of plants and animals that live in and around these bodies of water Increased water heat can contribute to the decline and migration of fish populations, the bleaching of coral, and an increase in toxic algae blooms
Snow Melt - NASA Earthdata NASA’s Earth data help researchers study snow melt to learn more about global warming and climate change, water cycles, and agriculture
Glaciers - NASA Earthdata Glaciers, the creeping ancient giants of the cryosphere, are relics of Earth’s past yet incredibility relevant to its present and future Glaciers, ice caps, and related forms of land ice can be up to 1,000,000 years old and hold nearly 70% of the world’s fresh water The World’s largest glacier, the Seller Glacier in Antarctica, is 7,000 square kilometer in area alone Scientists
Runoff | NASA Earthdata Runoff is the measurement of the flow of water into a lake, stream or other waterbody, usually expressed in cubic feet per second The flow is produced by rainfall from storms, precipitation accumulation or transpiration, melting ice or snow, seepage, evaporation, and percolation Determining the runoff potential of an area is important data for water resources and agricultural management
Ground Water | NASA Earthdata NASA's ground water datasets provide important details on the amounts, locations, movement, and use of water around the world
Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) - NASA Earthdata Occurs when colonies of algae—simple photosynthetic organisms that live in the sea and freshwater—grow out of control while producing toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and birds The human illnesses caused by HABs, though rare, can be debilitating or even fatal HA
Aquifers | NASA Earthdata Pertaining to subsurface rock layers that store and transport water through pore-space within the units
Rivers Streams - NASA Earthdata NASA's rivers and streams data gives researchers detailed measurements for studying, protecting, and mitigating hazards posed by the waterways
