For data and Earth imagery, see NASA's Earth Observing System , which aims to improve understanding of the Earth as an environmental system and lead to improved weather forecasts, tools for managing agriculture and forests, and a better understanding of global warming. EOS is composed of multiple satellites and remote sensors that monitor earth's land surface, biosphere, atmosphere, and oceans. The Earth Observing System Data and Information System, EOSDIS acquires, archives, manages and distributes Earth observation data for users.
