We're using our unique vantage point in space to provide observations and data of Hurricane Irma and other tropical storms. Hurricanes Irma and Jose are seen here in a 12-hour long infrared loop. Scientists monitor storms in infrared to closely monitor clouds and storm intensity. We continue to provide satellite imagery for these storms, tracking its trajectory, force and precipitation to inform forecasters at the National Hurricane Center.

As these storms continue their westward drive in the coming days, they will be passing over waters that are warmer than 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit)—hot enough to sustain a category 5 storm. Warm oceans, along with low wind shear, are two key ingredients that fuel and sustain hurricanes. Get the latest imagery and data from us at www.nasa.gov/hurricane For information on making preparations for Hurricanes, visit the FEMA website at: ready.gov/hurricanes. Credit: NASA-SPoRT/NOAA

#Repost @nasa with @repostapp ・・・ Behold! The first images from GOES-16, NOAA's latest in a new age of weather satellites. This image show North and South America and the surrounding oceans. GOES-16, formerly known as GOES-R, launched on Nov. 19, 2016. GOES-16 captured this view of the moon as it looked above the surface of the Earth on Jan. 15. Like earlier GOES satellites, GOES-16 will use the moon for calibration. Credits: NOAA/NASA #nasa #goes #goes16 #goesr #earth #earthrightnow #climate #weather #moon #science

Scientists at our Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analyzed measurements from 6,300 locations and found that Earth's average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late-19th century, largely a result of human emissions into the atmosphere. This makes 2016 the third year in a row to set a new record for global average surface temperatures.

#globalwarming #sealevelrise #earthrightnow #climatechange #emmisions .....the rate of co2 is increasing rapidly_our future generation maybe in danger if we don't take an action right now!!!
