- NASA - Ocean Surface Topography Mission/Jason 2 Begins Mapping Oceans
Less than a month after launch, the NASA-French space agency Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM)/Jason 2 oceanography satellite has produced its first complete maps of global ocean surface topography, surface wave height and wind speed.
The new data will help scientists monitor changes in global sea level and the distribution of heat in the ocean. This information is used to monitor climate change and ocean circulation, and to enable more accurate weather, ocean and climate forecasts. The data reveal patterns of sea level anomalies, which are used by scientists to calculate the speed and direction of ocean surface currents.

- Remote Sensing Tutorial Page 16-1
This Section surveys one general but vital idea and then addresses how the Earth Sciences community is responding to implementing the outgrowths of this idea. A new field seems to have emerged in the last 20 years. It goes by the imposing name: Earth System(s) Science. But, its ingredients have been around for a long time (some of the components make up the contents of Physical Geography textbooks). The basic notion is this: instead of treating such fields as meteorology, oceanography, botany, ecology, living creatures, aspects of geology, etc. as discrete, self-contained knowledge bases, recognize that they are all part of the same system that controls the Earth, and hence all pointed towards a central common theme, and then cross-link (integrate) the n...

- US Global Change Research Program - Midwest Region Report
Average temperatures in the Midwest have risen in recent decades, with the largest increases in winter. The length of the frost-free or growing season has been extended by one week, mainly due to earlier dates for the last spring frost. Heavy downpours are now twice as frequent as they were a century ago. Both summer and winter precipitation have been above average for the last three decades, the wettest period in a century. The Midwest has experienced two record-breaking floods in the past 15 years. There has also been a decrease in lake ice, including on the Great Lakes. Since the 1980s, large heat waves have become more frequent than anytime in the last century, other than the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s. The observed patterns of temperature increase...
