• Patagonian Shelf Waters Abloom (2024/12/04 05:00)

  Colorful swirls of water reveal the presence of phytoplankton in the South Atlantic Ocean near the Falkland Islands.
• Heavy Snows in Korea (2024/12/02 20:41)

  Late-November snowfall blanketed large portions of the country and deposited record-breaking accumulations in Seoul.
• Satellites Reveal a Greener Antarctic Peninsula (2024/12/02 05:00)

  Scientists are beginning to unravel what comes next, after the ice moves out and vegetation moves in.
• Western Australia’s Capital City (2024/12/01 05:00)

  Perth, the only city along the country’s western coastline with more than 1 million people, displays widespread urban infrastructure alongside the Swan and Canning rivers.
• Saturated Northern Australia (2024/11/30 05:00)

  After two particularly wet years, large ephemeral lakes in the Barkly Tableland region were still flooded as the 2024–2025 rainy season got underway.
• Aerosol Optical Depth (2024/11/30 05:00)

  Airborne aerosols can cause or prevent cloud formation and harm human health. These maps depict aerosol concentrations in the air based on how the tiny particles reflect or absorb visible and infrared light.
• Cloud Fraction (2024/11/30 05:00)

  In addition to making rain and snow, clouds can have a warming or cooling influence depending on their altitude, type, and when they form. These maps show what fraction of an area was cloudy each month.
• Snow Cover (2024/11/30 05:00)

  Snow and ice influence climate by reflecting sunlight back into space. When it melts, snow is a source of water for drinking and vegetation; too much snowmelt can lead to floods. These maps show average snow cover by month.
