While the JPSS satellites observe the aurora in black and white, here's your students’ chance to add a splash of color! Let your students’ creativity shine as they capture the magic of an aurora using watercolors or tissue paper.
Severe flooding is caused by atmospheric conditions that lead to heavy rain or the rapid melting of snow and ice. Geography can also make an area more likely to flood. For example, areas near rivers and cities are often at risk for flash floods.
Two instruments on JPSS measure temperature: the Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) and the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS).
JPSS orbits Earth and measure its land, ocean, and atmosphere conditions. These measurements will help us predict our weather and understand our climate. Learn more in this comic.
Contrails form when water vapor from an airplane’s exhaust condenses and freezes, forming clouds made of ice crystals
Healthy recipes that showcase ingredients that benefit from JPSS data, which monitor plant health, droughts, and more.
