Stories about: ocean salinity

SAC-D/Aquarius Launches Successfully Yesterday, at 7:20 am PDT (1420 GMT), the newest ocean salinity-monitoring spacecraft launched to Earth's orbit from California, the United States. The mission will spend three years figuring out the planet's water cycles, as well as the most complex interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans.The pl...	11 June 2011 02:43 GMT

Aquarius Will Help Experts Predict Climate Change The ultimate goal of the SAC-D/Aquarius mission will be to provide climate researchers with relevant data for developing advanced model describing the Earth's atmosphere. The way it will accomplish this is by analyzing ocean salinity. Despite its simple molecular structure, salt is extremely critical to a large ...	3 June 2011 06:06 GMT

Measuring Salinity from Space Is Extremely Challenging As NASA and the Comisión Nacional de Actividades Espaciales (CONAE) – the Argentinian space agency – prepare to launch the SAC-D spacecraft, experts take a retrospective look at the complexity associated with measuring ocean salinity from space. The Satelite de Aplicaciones Cientificas vehicle is a...	26 May 2011 17:01 GMT

Aquarius SAC-D Spacecraft Prepared for June 9 Launch In a little over two months, the United States and Argentina will be launching a joint mission aimed at analyzing saltwater in the world's oceans. The mission will provide climate researchers and other scientists with more data on Earth's natural cycles, and their influence on the world.The Satélite ...	7 April 2011 02:59 GMT

Oceanic Activity Explains Lack of Rainfall Understanding how oceans directly influence the forming of rain clouds above areas close to the “middle” of the Earth could provide scientists with novel ways of figuring out why rainfall has decreased so drastically over those regions in the past few years. Changes in the ocean's salinity have ...	25 October 2008 05:18 GMT
