Показать описание
Launching soon from the U.S. West Coast, the satellite will track sea levels worldwide. In a series of live question-and-answer sessions, we invite you to meet some of the scientists and engineers on the mission. For NASA scientist Severine Fournier, studying our planet knows no borders. Our changing ocean affects everyone across the globe. That’s why the new Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, is a truly international mission that will study our rising seas from space.

The world's latest ocean-monitoring satellite is being readied for its launch from California on Nov. 10. The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich spacecraft will ensure continuity of the Jason series of missions to better our understanding of our rising seas and help shape the future of sea-level studies.

Designed to collect the most accurate satellite data for our continuing measurements of global sea level and to help us understand how our oceans are responding to climate change, the spacecraft is the product of a partnership between NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Hello JPL,

How can I access the raw data (LIGO data, etc.) of your lab; I am just wondering whether you're a part of center for open science.

Thanks a lot,
Ahmad

rising sea level gives tidal forces more grip - more geothermal friction/activity

Position in galaxy may explain climate, right? Uncover the mysteries of conciousness to figure
weather and hurricane intensification?! If only we knew what we don't know!
