Description:

Scientists have gained new insights into the processes that have driven ocean level variations for over a century, helping us prepare for the rising seas of the future.Continuous monitoring of glaciers and ice caps has provided unprecedented insights to global ice loss that could have serious socioeconomic impacts on some regions.NASA, University of Nebraska Release New Global Groundwater Maps and U.S. Drought ForecastsDuring the exceptionally warm Arctic summer of 2019, Greenland lost 600 billion tons of ice - enough to raise global sea levels by nearly a tenth of an inch (2.2 millimeters) in just two months, a new study shows.Greenland's Steenstrup Glacier, with the midmorning sun glinting off the Denmark Strait in the background. The image was taken during a NASA IceBridge airborne survey of the region in 2016.

These data sets will be expanded with the most recent monthly data as it becomes available (approx. 45 day latency).

Current version: RL06M.MSCNv02Land water storage from GRACE is updated monthly, and is provided on 1-degree global grids.The data browser allows the interactive retrieval of GRACE/GRACE-FO Land Ocean data: evaluate time series over large river basins, compute long-term trends and mean seasonal amplitudes!Launching in 2017, GRACE Follow-on (GRACE-FO) will continue GRACE's legacy of tracking Earth's water movement to monitor changes in underground water storage, the amount of water stored in large lakes and rivers, soil moisture, ice sheets and glaciers, and sea level caused by the addition of water to the ocean. These discoveries provide a unique view of Earth's climate and have far-reaching benefits to society and the world's population.GRACE satellites are mounted belly to belly at anIABG testing facility in Germany.One of the twin GRACE satellites, Flight Model 1,is seen on a trolley during construction in Germany.
