Two NASA oceanographers have found and described numerous coastal ocean eddies off the southern California coast that are smaller and more abundant than previously reported.

Scientists using NASA's Polar spacecraft have captured the first-ever movie of auroras dancing simultaneously around both of Earth's polar regions.

A newly released atlas detailing coral reefs around the world contains numerous photographs taken by NASA astronauts. These photographs provide a unique perspective on coral reef geography, coastal development and the relationship of reefs to various land habitats.

Shifting wind patterns in the stratosphere during the winter may help forecasters predict weather on the surface two months ahead of time, because they have an affect on where storms track in the northern hemisphere.

A new collection of Earth science data is now publicly available to advance global studies of how our planet's lands, oceans, atmosphere and life all interact to define our world's water cycle, carbon cycle, and climate system. Courtesy of the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra satellite, these data mark a significant step forward in data quality and consistency.

Radar images of the surface of an oil field are helping scientists understand how rocks deep within the field behave, which may help oil companies reduce costs and increase production. Researchers used a technique called radar interferometry.

Satellite data show that the area of this year's Antarctic ozone hole peaked at about 26 million square kilometers - making the hole similar in size to those of the past three years, according to scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Researchers have observed a leveling-off of the hole size and predict a slow recovery.

A NASA mission to study Alaska's unique terrain is providing scientists with their first detailed look at the changing topography of one of Earth's most active volcanic regions.

NASA will fund 15 projects to address Earth Science related issues that impact our daily lives.

Two NASA scientists have for the first time taken simultaneous high-altitude radar, temperature, and wind measurements that reveal the anatomy of hurricanes and shed light on what makes them intensify.

Natural "ups and downs" in an Icelandic weather system have contributed to a decrease in Arctic sea ice cover over the last 20 years, according to new NASA research.
