The city of Manaus has been going through a process of accelerated and disorganized urban growth, which causes situations that characterize many challenges and environmental problems. Among these, we highlight the change in the local climate, causing the so-called Urban Heat Island (UHI) that arises in the area of the metropolitan region and is characterized by the rise in surface temperature when compared to the predominant temperature in the regions of urban sites. This phenomenon relates to...

The average temperature of the land is one component of a model used to predict the areas where mosquitos will flourish and where they will not. Satellite remote sensing can help construct maps of the average land surface temperature. These images were created in support of a story describing how NASA is assisting the CDC and EPA in tracking the spread of West Nile Virus. Note: This animation shows the average monthly land surface temperature of North America for one year. Animator: James W....

Surface temperature is critical for the simulation of climate change impacts on the ecology, environment, and particularly permafrost in the cryosphere. Virtually, surface temperatures are different in the near-surface air temperature (Ta) measured at a screen-height of 1.5–2 m, the land surface temperature (LST) on the top canopy layer, and the ground surface temperature (GST) 0–5 cm beneath the surface cover. However, not enough attention has been concentrated on the difference in these...

NASA is developing a new monopropellant propulsion system for small, cost-driven spacecraft with AV requirements in the range of 10-150 m/sec. This system is based on a hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN)/water/fuel monopropellant blend which is extremely dense, environmentally benign, and promises good performance and simplicity. State-of-art (SOA) small spacecraft typically employ either hydrazine or high pressure stored gas. Herein, a 'typical' small satellite bus is used to illustrate how a...

The temperature of the surface of the world's oceans provides a clear indication of the state of the Earth's climate and weather. The AMSR-E instrument on the Aqua satellite measures the temperature of the top 1 millimeter of the ocean every day, even through the clouds. If the average sea surface temperature for a particular date is subtracted from the measured temperature for that date, the resulting sea surface temperature anomaly can be used to accurately assess the current state of the...

The Ionian Sea is the central basin of the Mediterranean Sea and has been the subject of various oceanographic studies since the 19th century. Substantial changes in water properties (such as temperature), both spatially and temporally (seasonal) occur as a result of extreme forcings by the local winds and by the inflow of cool and less saline Atlantic waters. In recent years, extensive measurements have been made, primarily through remote sensing techniques. In particular, satellite infrared...

The potential predictability of surface-air temperature and precipitation over the United States continent was assessed for a GCM forced by observed sea surface temperatures and an estimate of observed ground soil moisture contents. The latter was obtained by substituting the GCM simulated precipitation, which is used to drive the GCM's land-surface component, with observed pentad-mean precipitation at each time step of the model's integration. With this substitution, the simulated soil...

These composites were oriented to true north, had diameters of 400 n mi and covered the period in the Gulf of Mexico prior to the time the hurricanes reached maximum intensity. The mean air temperature was less than the mean sea-surface temperature, and this difference varied from l.2C in the outer region of...
