This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth Observing System (EOS) is an integral part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Earth Science Enterprise (ESE). ESE is a long-term global change research program designed to improve our understanding of the Earth's interrelated processes involving the atmosphere, oceans, land surfaces, and polar regions. Data from EOS instruments and other Earth science measurement systems are useful in understanding the causes and processes of global climate change and the consequences of human activities. The EOS Data and Information System (EOSDIS) provides a structure for data management and user services for products derived from EOS satellite instruments and other NASA Earth science data. Within the EOSDIS framework, the Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) have been established to provide expertise in one or more Earth science disciplines. The DAACs and cooperating data centers provide data and information services to support the global change research community. Much of the development of the DAACs has been in anticipation of the enormous amount of data expected from EOS instruments to be launched within the next two decades. Terra, the EOS flagship launched in December 1999, is the first of a series of EOS satellites to carry several instruments with multispectral capabilities. Some data products from these instruments are now available from several of the DAACs. These and other data products can be ordered through the EOS Data Gateway (EDG) and DAAC-specific online ordering systems.Goddard Space Flight CenterEARTH SCIENCES; EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEM (EOS); EOS DATA AND INFORMATION SYSTEM; CLIMATOLOGY; ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING; OCEANS; POLAR REGIONS; AIR LAND INTERACTIONS; AIR WATER INTERACTIONS

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover important Internet resources for research data made public individually and collectively by researchers from a variety of entities in the fields of environmental studies and ecology Online Ecological and Environmental Data explores innovative projects from a diverse array of institutions that have made environmental and ecological research information freely available online. You will find a wealth of Web site listings with URLs and complete descriptions, data field descriptions, controlled vocabulary examples, and Web screen shots that demonstrate how to use a specific site. The book will help you locate the data, procedures, instruments, notes, and other descriptive information that scientists and engineers need for replicating and building on the research of others. With Online Ecological and Environmental Data, you'll gain a better understanding of: * the cooperative design, development, and management of interdisciplinary data * cataloging multidisciplinary environmental data * data networking * new developments in information science and technology * extracting and compiling data * the convergence and dissemination of information via the Internet This unique resource explores the potential of distributing actual research data on the Web. The information you'll find in this book will enable science and technology librarians to provide effective access to library patrons. Online Ecological and Environmental Data will give librarians and other information specialists—as well as faculty and students in library sciences and technology—cutting-edge knowledge to meet the global data and information needs of the scientific community. The projects described in this book can serve as models for other disciplines, especially for the various aspects of handling data made available online, and for making this data more available and usable on the Internet for researchers and students.

Download or read book Scientific Assessment of the Effects of Global Change on the United States written by George Gray and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This national scientific assessment integrates, evaluates, and interprets the findings of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program and draws from and synthesizes findings from previous assessments of the science. It analyzes current trends in global change, both natural and human-induced, and projects major trends for the future. It analyzes the effects of these changes on the natural environment, ag., water resources, social systems, energy production and use, transport., and human health. This assessment addresses not only climate change, but also other change in the global environment ¿ including water resources, oceans, atmospheric chemistry, land productivity, and ecological systems¿that may alter the capacity of Earth to sustain life.
