From 2016 to 2019, the world saw record-breaking heat waves, rampant wildfires, and the longest run of category 5 tropical cyclones on record. The number of extreme weather events has been increasing for the last 40 years, and current...

Ocean waters are constantly on the move, traveling far distances in complex currents that regulate Earth's climate and weather patterns. How might climate change impact this critical system? Oceanographer Susan Lozier dives into the...

What's the real cause of climate change? Is global warming real? Are humans causing climate change? What is climate change? We do a deep dive into the data to find answers. The world today is 0.85 degrees (C)...

Weather lessons come alive for students in simple experiments and demonstrations. Kids show the basic principles of weather in these easy experiments and demonstrations. Using everyday materials, watch how to make a tornado in a bottle....

Air and moisture in different quantities comprise our atmosphere. The sun is the energy source that causes temperature change, wind, clouds, rain, dew, blue skies and rainbows. See how to build an instrument called a "sling psychrometer"...

The Global Fire WEather Database (GFWED) integrates different weather factors influencing the likelihood of a vegetation fire starting and spreading. It is based on the Fire Weather Index (FWI) System, which tracks the...

A little girl and her grandfather spend a summer afternoon sitting by a pond. The conversation changes from how warm the summer day is to how the pond gets cold and freezes in the winter. The grandfather helps the girl understand how the...

The atmosphere is dynamic and forever changing to maintain balance. The ingredients of air, sunlight and water allow life to exist on Earth, but they also generate calm scenes like rainbows, as a tornado ends. All storms move moisture,...

2021 was tied for the sixth warmest year on NASA’s record, stretching more than a century.



But, what is a temperatur

e record?

GISTEMP, NASA’s global temperature analysis, takes in...

This video explores the daily condition of the Earth's atmosphere. The factors that influence the atmosphere and cause weather are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the global processes that generate weather patterns. Other...

“Meterologist” will discuss weather changes and how patterns in weather can help make weather predictions.

This video discusses the challenges of predicting and forecasting weather, particularly in the context of rapidly changing weather conditions due to global warming. It highlights the shift from traditional weather forecasting methods to...

In 4 minutes, atmospheric chemist Rachel Pike provides a glimpse of the massive scientific effort behind the bold headlines on climate change, with her team -- one of thousands who contributed -- taking a risky flight over the rainforest...

The study of clouds has always been a daydreamer’s science, aptly founded by a thoughtful young man whose favorite activity was staring out of the window at the sky. Richard Hamblyn tells the history of Luke Howard, the man who...

Get closer than you've ever been to collapsing glaciers, out-of-control wildfires, and tornado-whipped debris while discovering the surprising connections among these powerful forces. Coming to theaters in October 2016, learn more about...

A soggy 2013 spring, with near record rainfall in some areas, has led to flood warnings in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. With the floodwaters come questions as millions brace for the next wave of...

The GOES-R series, NOAA's next-generation geostationary weather satellites, is a game changer. These satellites will provide continuous imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth’s Western Hemisphere, total lightning...

Precipitation (falling rain and snow) is our fresh water reservoir in the sky and is fundamental to life on Earth. This video shows the most detailed and worldwide view of rain and snowfall ever created and uses satellite measurements...

A rainy day spent inside helps a little boy learn about clouds and the water cycle from his mother. He sees the value of rain to plants, animals, people and the planet, even when the rain is not convenient for him. As the rain...

Take in a deep breath of salty ocean air and more than likely you're also breathing in naturally occurring sea spray aerosols. But, there's much more in each of those tiny bursting ""bubbles"" than salt. They're also bursting with ocean...

How does NASA "see" thermal radiation? This video explores what infrared energy is and how NASA detects it to study our Earth's systems more completely. Satellite measurements over time allow scientists to study seasonal changes in...

NASA's NPP mission will continue collecting critical climate data to help scientist unravel the mysteries of climate change. This fun interactive mission overview video featuring TV meteorologists Topper Shutt (WUSA9), Veronica Johnson...

Next month, world leaders will gather in Copenhagen at the United Nations Climate Change Conference to negotiate a new global climate treaty. In anticipation of this event, NASA has compiled a multimedia resource collection for editors...
