NASA On Air: NASA Depicts Earth's System Of Systems (2/26/2016)
LEAD: A new NASA visualization reveals that the Earth system, like the human body, comprises diverse components that interact in complex ways.
- Heat absorbed by the ocean is transported by ocean currents.
- This energy is released into Earth’s atmosphere.
- Heat and moisture influence weather patterns with clouds and precipitation.
TAG: Improved observational and computational capabilities increasingly allow scientists to study the numerous interactions and gain unprecedented insight into how the Earth system works—and how it might change in the future.
