Zooming down to Anaheim, CA. 1224 Zoom Down to Anaheim, CA
Using Landsat data, scientist are able to see
Urban growth, and the deforestation of old tree growth.  They are also able
to see the large Metro areas. 1223 Zoom Down to Seattle, Washington
Flying down the coast of California from Santa Barbara to
Los Angeles. Using Landsat 7 dataset of California and USGS elevation data, we
are albe to fly in 3D space and view this beautiful area. 1222 Coastal Fly Down from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles

Spinning globe showing CERES data 1136 CERES Globe
This visualization was made to demonstrate a technique developed by scientists to remove clouds from data images by using cloud data. Initially, you will see a portion of South America with the clouds obstructing the view, then fades to a mask to mask out the clouds, and then removes the clouds from the view, leaving the view of South America unobstructed. 1132 South American Cirrus Clouds
This visualization was made to demonstrate a technique developed by scientists to remove clouds from data images by using cloud data.  Initially, you will see the Larsen Ice Shelf with the clouds obstructing the view, then fades to a mask to mask out the clouds, and then removes the clouds from the view, leaving the Larsen Ice Shelf unobstructed. 1131 Larsen Clouds
IndoEX Surface Reflectance 1130 Terra: Focus on INDOEX (Second Version)
MODIS provides new capabilities for measuring the properties of clouds.  The sensor measures how much of the globe is covered by clouds, identifies various cloud types, and even enables scientists to determine the sizes of the particles that make up clouds. This latter measurement allows scientists to distinguish clouds made of water droplets from those made of ice crystals, and from those made of snow flakes. In this image, the blue clouds are ice clouds, pink indicates snow clouds, and green shows water clouds. 1128 Cloud Optical Thickness Effective Particle Radius
IndoEX Chlorophyll Levels 1127 Chlorophyll in the Bay of Bengal with Fluorescence
