Name of Image Earth-to-Orbit Education Program "Makes Science Cool
Date of Image 2002-05-17
Full Description In this photograph, students from all over the country gathered and discussed their Earth-to-Orbit (ETO) Design Challenge project at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. These students who are just "typical teens," have been spending their time tackling some of the same challenges NASA engineers face when designing propulsion systems at MSFC. The ETO Design Challenge is a hands-on educational program, targeted to middle school students, in which students are assigned a project engaging in related design challenges in their classrooms under the supervision of their teachers. The project is valuable because it can be used by any student, and any teacher, even those without technical backgrounds. Student in 12 states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Montana, New York, Ohio, Ternessee, Virginia, and Washington, are taking part in MSFC's Earth-to-Orbit program. NASA uses such programs to support educational excellence while participating in educational outreach programs through centers around the country. One of the students' teachers, Joanne Fluvog, commented, "the biggest change I've seen is in the students' motivation and their belief in their ability to think." Justin O'Connor and Jeff Alden, students of Lane Middle School in Portland, Oregon, participated in the ETO program and said being involved in a real engineering project has made them realize that "science is cool.

Title Floods in the Southeastern United States
Description Weekend storms dumped heavy rain over Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee on September 23 and 24, 2006. More than 10 inches of rain fell over parts of the region, giving rise to flash floods that killed 12 people, reported the Associated Press. [ http://abcnews.go.com/US/Weather/wireStory?id=2487440&page=1 ] By September 25, the clouds had cleared, providing the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ]) on NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite this view of the floods. In the top image, large portions of northeast Arkansas and southeast Missouri are dotted with dark pools of standing water. The rivers flowing into the Mississippi River in Kentucky are swollen, as are rivers in Arkansas. At the time this image was collected, a flood advisory [ http://www.srh.noaa.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=ARZ016&warncounty=ARC063&local_place1=Newark&product1=Flood+Statement ] remained in effect for the Black River, which flows north-south along the left edge of the image. The lower image shows the four states on September 20, a few days before the storms. In this image, it is clear that much of the land that was flooded was agricultural land. Cultivated land on both sides of the Mississippi River forms a grid of tan and green squares. Primarily natural or non-cultivated vegetation, by contrast, is solid green. The floods on the west side of the Mississippi have a checker-board appearance, indicating that water covers low-lying, rectangular farm fields.

Title Growing-Season Fires in Central United States
Description Agricultural burning in preparation for the growing season was underway in the central United States at the time of this image, captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite on March 31, 2004. Across the dun-colored witner landscape, spring green is beginning to spread across the south-central parts of the country, including (top left to bottom) Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, and (top right to bottom) Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Fires have been marked with red dots in the image. The smokier fires in Arkansas may be prescribed burns on state or federal lands that are set in the spring to decrease built-up underbrush and other vegetation that could contribute to more severe wildfires later in the season. Though not necessarily hazardous, large-scale burning can have an impact on weather, climate, human health, and natural resources. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel.

Title Growing-Season Fires in Central United States
Description Agricultural burning continues across the Central Plains of the United States on April 4, 2004. The fires, detected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite have been marked with red dots in this image. The fires are concentrated in Kansas and Oklahoma (top left and bottom left), with additional fires in Missouri and Arkansas (top right and bottom right). The widespread nature of the fires and their location (generally located away from remaining natural vegetation, which appears deeper green) suggests that these fires are being set intentionally for agricultural purposes. Though not necessarily hazardous, such large-scale burning can have an impact on weather, climate, human health, and natural resources. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at additional resolutions. Two large rivers flow from west to east across the scene. The Missouri River runs out of Kansas into Missouri through Kansas City, which sits right on the border of the two states. To the south, the Arkansas River flows out of Oklahoma into Arkansas where it weaves between the Boston Mountains, which appear reddish brown, and the Ouachita Mountains, whose ridges are deep brown and punctuated by green valleys.

Heavy Rain in the US Midwest
Title Heavy Rain in the US Midwest
Description The powerful storms that moved across the U.S. Midwest during the first week of May 2007 brought wind, hail, tornadoes, and drenching rain. This image shows rainfall totals over parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska between May 1 and May 8, based in part on measurements made by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM [ http://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ]) satellite. More than 400 millimeters (15.7 inches) of rain fell over some regions, corresponding with locations where the National Weather Service reported severe weather. [ http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/070506_rpts.html ] A wide swath of red and orange (between 240 and 400 millimeters of rain) arcs in a clockwise direction from western Oklahoma, through central Kansas, and into southeastern Nebraska. The reddish-orange bull's-eye over southeastern Louisiana is evidence of the torrential rains that pounded visitors to the annual New Orleans Jazz Festival. South-central Texas' Edward Plateau was soaked with more than 240 millimeters of rain during the period, as well. From May 4 to May 8, the National Weather Service [ http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ ] received approximately 683 reports of severe weather, 140 of which were reports of tornadoes, including the massive F5 [ http://www.crh.noaa.gov/crnews/display_story.php?wfo=ddc&storyid=7828&source=0 ] tornado that devastated the city of Greensburg, Kansas. Beyond the damaging winds and tornadoes, the torrential rain triggered extensive flooding throughout the Central Plains. On the evening of May 7, flood warnings [ http://www.crh.noaa.gov/crnews/display_story.php?wfo=crh&storyid=7865&source=0 ] were in effect from South Dakota to southern Texas, and by May 8, the Hydrologic Information Center [ http://www.weather.gov/ahps/ ] reported moderate to major flooding at 53 stream gauge sites in South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Arkansas. The floods could be as severe as the 1993 flood, [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NewImages/images.php3?img_id=16881 ] one of the costliest floods in U.S. history, reported the Associated Press.

Hurricane Rita
Title Hurricane Rita
Description After forming east of the Turks and Caicos, Rita moved west and sideswiped the Florida Keys before entering the Gulf of Mexico where it strengthend into the 3rd most powerful hurricane on record (in terms of central air pressure). Rita eventually made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border as a Category 3 storm. After making landfall, Rita weakened into a tropical depression and moved northeastward through central Arkansas and into southeast Missouri. The image about shows the Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (MPA) rainfall totals due solely to Rita for the period September 18-26, 2005, with storm symbols marking the storm track. The highest rainfall totals are over coastal Louisiana where a swath of 8- to 10-inch amounts (yellow and orange areas) extends eastward from the Texas border to near Morgan City. Parts of the Keys and far southwestern peninsular Florida received up to 5 inches from Rita (green areas). Overall, the inland rainfall totals across the central Mississippi valley were not very high, generally less than 4 inches (light green to blue), as Rita rather quickly moved off to the northeast. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite has been measuring rainfall over the tropics since its launch in 1997. The TRMM-based, near-real time MPA at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center provides estimates of rainfall over the global tropics. TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency JAXA. Image produced by Hal Pierce (SSAI/NASA GSFC) and captioned by Steve Lang (SSAI/NASA GSFC).

Title Killer Storms in the southern Plains and the Southeast
Description *animations: * small movie (848 KB) large movie (2.8 MB) Severe thunder storms formed over the midwestern United States on May 4, 2003, and spawned dozens of tornadoes that swept through parts of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee, leaving a wake of destruction and killing as many as 35 people. Eighty-three tornadoes were reported, according to an official with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but the official count has not yet been confirmed. Pierce City, MO, was among the locations hardest hit. Residents of the small town in southwestern Missouri report that almost every structure in the town—houses and businesses alike—were flattened in a span of about 30 seconds by the tornado that roared through there. After forming late in the day over southeastern Kansas and Missouri, the line of thunder storms moved quickly eastward. Much of the damage appears to be along the Kansas-Missouri border. One official with the National Weather Service estimates that the storm that ripped through Pierce City was at least a Category F3 tornado—packing winds between 158 and 206 miles per hour. Eastern states have been put on alert as the storm system moves toward the southern states, bringing the potential for more tornadoes to occur in Kentucky, eastern Tennessee, and northern Georgia. The image above was acquired by the NOAA GOES-12 satellite on May 4. The time series animation shows cloud tops of the storm system forming over southeastern Kansas and Missouri and then moving eastward as night falls.

Title Killer Storms in the southern Plains and the Southeast
Description TRMM Eyes Great Plains Severe Thunderstorms On Sunday, May 4, a super outbreak of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms swarmed across the southern Plains region of the United States. According to the Storm Prediction Center, there were 275 reports of large hail, 89 reports of wind damage and 84 tornadoes. On this day, 187 tornado warnings were issued across Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission, which contains the world's only spaceborne weather radar, overflew several of these deadly thunderstorm cells late on May 4. The image shows the white, cloudy tops of several thunderstorm cells from the vantage of the GOES satellite. The TRMM orbit (dark shading) is superimposed on this cloudy background. There is a particularly intense storm cell located over western Oklahoma (left side of image). Whereas the GOES satellite shows this to be a single, isolated storm, the TRMM precipitation radar reveals that it is actually composed of three smaller precipitation cores in various stages of development. The vertical scale of the rain features has been greatly exaggerated to show details. The dark blue colors correspond to the tallest rain cells (approaching 15-16 km depth) while red colors indicated shallower rain features. This particular "multicell" storm produced damaging hail as it moved from west to east across Oklahoma.

Title Fires in Arkansas' Boston Mountains
Description On the afternoon of April 13, 2006, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov ] satellite detected two smoky fires burning in northwestern Arkansas' Boston Mountains when the sensor passed over head and collected this image. The actively burning part of the fire detected by MODIS is outlined in red. Both fires have large plumes of smoke drifting northward. The Arkansas River runs through the image's bottom left corner, while at top, Beaver Lake sits just south of the Missouri state line. The topography of the area is highlighted by the still-dormant vegetation of the higher elevations of the mountains, which appears brown.

Fires in Mississippi Valley
Title Fires in Mississippi Valley
Description What they lack in drama, the fires in the Southeast U.S. make up for in numbers each year. There are more fires in the Mississippi Valley, the Plains and the Southeast every year than there are out West, but they are generally much smaller and do not gain the attention of the national news media. This image captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite on September 16, 2003, shows dozens of actively burning fires (red dots) in the states east and west of the Mississippi River Plain, which cuts vertically through the image. States shown include (bottom row, left to right) Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. North of Louisiana, numerous fires are burning in Arkansas. Left and right of Arkansas are Oklahoma and Tennessee, respectively. Across the top (left to right) are Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky. The vegetation that is spread over the region is showing little sign of the approaching autumn equinox. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel.

Title Snowstorm Rolls Across the U.S.
Description A severe winter storm rolled eastward across the central United States between December 23 and 25, 2002, bringing a white Christmas to millions of people in a wide swath stretching from the southern Great Plains region all the way to New England. Many areas in the northeast reported blizzard conditions during the storm, in which snow accumulated on the ground at a rate of up to 5 inches (12 cm) per hour. As much as 3 feet (1 meter) of snow fell in some places over the 48-hour span. Unfortunately, the storm resulted in at least 19 deaths. There have been a number of car accidents reported in many states and tens of thousands of people living in the northeast were left without power. This true-color image was acquired on Dec. 25, 2002, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying aboard NASA?s Aqua satellite. The wide white swath running from west to east through the scene shows the southern Great Plains region blanketed by snow ? from the Texas panhandle across northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas into Missouri and northwestern Arkansas. Brownish-green areas are bare land surface. Image courtesy Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Land Rapid Response Team [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] at NASA GSFC

Thunderstorms in the Midwest …
Title Thunderstorms in the Midwestern United States
Description A slow-moving weather front was responsible for spreading severe storms and flooding across parts of the southeastern and mid-western United States on September 23 and September 24, 2006. The storms occurred when low air pressure over the Central Plains drew warm, humid air up from the Gulf of Mexico. The warm air interacted with strong, upper-level winds. There were numerous reports of tornados, hail, and wind damage on Friday, September 22, across southeastern Missouri and the central Mississippi Valley. On Saturday, September 23, the focus shifted eastward into Tennessee and eastern Kentucky, with the primary threat being damaging winds. Overall, a total of 12 people died as a result of the storms, according to the Associated Press, but most of the fatalities were due to flash flooding [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=13894 ] in Kentucky. These images, based on data collected by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite (known as TRMM [ http://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ]), show the flood-producing rains. The top image shows rainfall totals for September 23 and September 24 derived from the TRMM-based, near-real-time, Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (MPA) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, which monitors rainfall over the global tropics. Dark red areas along the Arkansas-Missouri border and stretching into far western Kentucky indicate that rain amounts exceeded 10 inches (about 250 millimeters). Five-inch amounts (130 millimeters, shown in green) stretch from western Oklahoma and up through the Ohio Valley. The lower image shows an instantaneous snapshot of the actual storms as they swept through the Midwest. The image was taken by TRMM at 18:25 UTC (1:15 p.m. CDT) on September 23, 2006, and it shows the distribution of rain intensity as seen from above. A long line of storms (green area) moves southwest to northeast through the central Mississippi Valley. The storms are followed by a broader area of light rain (broad blue area). Areas of intense rainfall (darker reds) associated with heavier thunderstorms are located over northeast Texas, western Kentucky, and eastern Tennessee. Rain rates in the center of the swath are from the TRMM Precipitation Radar, while those in the outer swath are from the TRMM Microwave Imager. The rain rates are overlaid on infrared data from the TRMM Visible Infrared Scanner. TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency, JAXA.

Description *large images:*  April 25, 2002 (1.8 MB JPEG)  May 18, 2002 (2.3 MB JPEG) Over the past two weeks, heavy rains gave rise to floods all across the midwestern United States, killing 8 people and forcing many more from their homes. These false-color images show the junction of the Ohio River and the Mississippi River where the flooding was at its worse. The images compare April 25, 2002, to May 18, 2002, with data from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [ http://modarch.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] spacecraft. The Mississippi River rose up to 12 feet above flood stage in the area shown here. Southeast Missouri and northern Arkansas, which are west of the great river, felt the brunt of the floods. Altogether, more than 50 counties in the state of Missouri reported flood damage. Farther north in Illinois, Gov. George Ryan declared the entire state a natural disaster area. Severe floods also occurred to the east in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Normally, all the rivers in this image would resemble thin black lines (left image). Though skies in the region are clear now, thunderstorms are forecast for later this week, and heavy rains could lead to continued flooding. In these false-color images, green shows bare land surface and black is water. The orange-brown shades show vegetated areas and the pinkish-white patches are clouds.

Description *large images:*  April 25, 2002 (1.8 MB JPEG)  May 18, 2002 (2.3 MB JPEG) Over the past two weeks, heavy rains gave rise to floods all across the midwestern United States, killing 8 people and forcing many more from their homes. These false-color images show the junction of the Ohio River and the Mississippi River where the flooding was at its worse. The images compare April 25, 2002, to May 18, 2002, with data from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [ http://modarch.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] spacecraft. The Mississippi River rose up to 12 feet above flood stage in the area shown here. Southeast Missouri and northern Arkansas, which are west of the great river, felt the brunt of the floods. Altogether, more than 50 counties in the state of Missouri reported flood damage. Farther north in Illinois, Gov. George Ryan declared the entire state a natural disaster area. Severe floods also occurred to the east in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Normally, all the rivers in this image would resemble thin black lines (left image). Though skies in the region are clear now, thunderstorms are forecast for later this week, and heavy rains could lead to continued flooding. In these false-color images, green shows bare land surface and black is water. The orange-brown shades show vegetated areas and the pinkish-white patches are clouds.

Title Tropical Storm Bertha in the Gulf of Mexico
Description Remnants of Tropical Storm Bertha dumped heavy rains across parts of Louisiana and Mississippi on August 5, 2002. As much as 6.73 inches of rain fell in Pascagoula, Miss., according to news reports. Meanwhile, another tropical depression formed off the coast of South Carolina on Aug. 5 and is gathering strength. As of Aug. 6, the storm had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, just 4 mph short of becoming a tropical storm, and was moving slowly eastward. If it continues to intensify, it will become Tropical Storm Cristobol. Elsewhere in this scene, a widespread pall of haze can be seen spanning from Arkansas and Missouri across Tennessee and Kentucky, and into Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland. Many of these regions received Code Red air quality warnings. Image courtesy Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Land Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC

Title Flooding in Northeast Arkansas
Description *Flooding in Northeast Arkansas* Heavy rains in northwestern Arkansas are beginning to cause flooding downstream in northeastern Arkansas. The White River, a tributary of the Mississippi River, appeared flooded in this Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] (MODIS) image, acquired by the Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite on April 27, 2004. Blue patches of water line the river, which is barely visible in an image acquired just ten days earlier. On the right side of the image, the Mississippi River forms Arkansas? eastern border with Tennessee. A narrow strip of Missouri is visible along the top of the images. The high resolution images are at MODIS? maximum resolution of 250 meters per pixel. Both the April 27 [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/?2004118-0427/Arkansas.A2004118.1925.721 ] and the April 17 [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/?2004108-0417/Arkansas.A2004108.1710.721 ] images are available in additional resolutions. Vegetation colors these false color images bright green. Clouds appear light blue.

Title Flooding in Northeast Arkansas
Description Springtime showers and thunderstorms dumped heavy rains over parts of northwestern Arkansas and south central Missouri over the weekend. Hardest hit was northwestern Arkansas where two children were swept away by flood waters west of Huntsville, Arkansas. A stationary front draped across central Arkansas from northern Texas to the Mid-Atlantic region provided the focus for strong storms as southerly winds pumped low-level moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico. This image shows an instantaneous snapshot of the storms that led to the flooding taken by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. The image was taken at 06:30 UTC on 24 April 2004. It shows the horizontal distribution of rain intensity as seen from above by the TRMM satellite. Rain rates in the center swath are from the TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR), the first and only precipitation radar in space, and rain rates in the outer swath are from the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI). The rain rates are overlaid on infrared (IR) data from the TRMM Visible Infrared Scanner VIRS). TRMM shows three different mesoscale convective systems known as MCSs: one over south central Texas, one over north central Texas and one along the Oklahoma-Arkansas border. MCSs typically contain showers and/or thundershowers along their leading edge that contain strong updrafts and produce heavy rain (as seen by the red areas) followed by or adjacent to areas of stratiform rain with weaker rainrates (green areas). The southernmost MCS has a horseshoe type shape indicative of a mature MCS whereby strong winds entering the rear of the system deform the storms along the leading edge into a bow shape. Convection in the middle MCS is more linear and very intense as shown by the dark red areas indicative of a squall line. The third MCS that is farthest north has a broad area of stratiform rain (green area) of moderate intensity centered on the convection. An additional image shows a vertical slice taken by the TRMM PR through the central MCS looking east. It shows intense rainrates associated with the leading edge convection. The leading edge is made up of many convective elements as evidenced by the cellular nature of the intense echoes (dark red areas) associated with the numerous protruding towers (green and yellow areas extending vertically). TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency JAXA. Images produced by Hal Pierce (SSAI/NASA GSFC) and caption by Steve Lang (SSAI/NASA GSFC).

The TRMM-based, near-real time Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (MPA) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center monitors rainfall over the global tropics. MPA rainfall totals for the period 23-25 April 2004 show up to a foot of rain (dark red areas) may have fallen over the northern Ozarks near the Arkansas-Missouri border. The heaviest rains fell on the evening of Friday the 23rd and early morning of Saturday the 24th (local time). TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency JAXA.

Title Flooding on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
Description In mid-May 2002, heavy rains gave rise to floods all across the midwestern United States, killing 8 people and forcing many more from their homes. This false-color image shows the junction of the Ohio River and the Mississippi River where the flooding was at its worst. The image was acquired by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] spacecraft. The Mississippi River rose up to 12 feet above flood stage in the area shown here. Southeast Missouri and northern Arkansas, which are west of the great river, felt the brunt of the floods. Altogether, more than 50 counties in the state of Missouri reported flood damage. Farther north in Illinois, Gov. George Ryan declared the entire state a natural disaster area. Severe floods also occurred to the east in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Normally, all the rivers in this image would resemble thin black lines (left image). Though skies in the region are clear now, thunderstorms are forecast for later this week, and heavy rains could lead to continued flooding. In this false-color image, green shows land surface and black is water. The pinkish-white patches are clouds.
