Dead Sea and Salt Evaporation Ponds | NASA Earthdata
2022年12月21日 · True-color image of the Dead Sea (the dark body of water) and salt evaporation ponds (the green/blue green rectangular features at the southern end of the sea). This image was acquired on December 21, 2022, by the Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) aboard the ESA (European Space Agency) Sentinel-2A and -2B satellites. Explore this image in …
Evapotranspiration | NASA Earthdata
2025年3月27日 · Evapotranspiration (ET) is the sum of water evaporation from the land surface and its transpiration, or movement, through vegetation. ET measurements are useful in monitoring and assessing water availability, drought conditions, and crop production.
Glacier Power: What is Glacier Anatomy? | NASA Earthdata
2025年3月27日 · In the lower region or ablation (output) zone, the glacier loses ice through melting and evaporation. Older ice is carried down to greater and greater depth. An equilibrium line divides the two areas. This spot is like an old fashioned pair of …
Glacier Power Glossary | NASA Earthdata
2025年3月27日 · Processes (especially melting) by which a glacier loses ice and snow: melting, evaporation, calving, and erosion. The area of a glacier where ablation occurs. Accumulation, Accumulation zone. Process (especially snowfall and compression) by which a glacier gains snow and ice. The area of a glacier where accumulation occurs. Arete
Glacier Power: How do Glaciers Move? | NASA Earthdata
2025年3月20日 · Ablation Zone: Where the glacier loses ice through melting, calving, and evaporation Output Zone: In this zone, the glacier loses ice. This is the lower region of the glacier. Meltwater flows out to the terminus through hidden channels and tunnels. Oldest ice is the deepest. Equilibrium Line: An equilibrium line divides the two areas.
The Magic of Water | NASA Earthdata
2020年7月28日 · Soil moisture is one of the components of land-surface evapotranspiration, and is a required parameter for evaporation calculations. Its critical role in the process has been made evident by many studies finding that evaporation and precipitation decrease over time in areas where forest canopy has been reduced.
Runoff | NASA Earthdata
2025年3月13日 · 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.
To the Lighthouse | NASA Earthdata
2020年12月28日 · “Quantifying evaporation is the hardest part of this study,” said Pakorn Petchprayoon, a researcher from Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency in Thailand. On top of the lighthouse, gadgets spin and record the energy exchanges of the water molecules—their rise and fall, speed and direction, and density.
Salt of the Sea | NASA Earthdata
2020年12月28日 · While 3.5 percent of Earth’s ocean is salt, freshwater added to the ocean dilutes salinity values. For example, strong rains across the equatorial Pacific from South American to Indonesia form a band of low salinity water. But warm areas with much evaporation and little precipitation increase salinity.
