1
00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:58,470
the great thing about npp

2
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:01,280
is that it's continuing

3
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:04,000
a long series of observations

4
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:05,280
um

5
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:11,040
measurement of ozone which has a long

6
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:13,439
history from the 1970s

7
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:16,240
um the the series instrument measuring

8
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,320
the earth's radiation budget the same

9
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:20,880
thing it's measuring and and how that's

10
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:23,520
is very it's critical for climate change

11
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:25,840
veers and its measurements of the

12
00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,840
surface and clouds

13
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:29,439
these things are changing as our

14
00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:32,560
atmosphere changes and as our uses of

15
00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:34,079
the land

16
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:35,920
all these processes are changing as

17
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:38,400
climate changes

18
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:39,600
chris

19
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,920
course as things warm up you get more ir

20
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:45,600
radiation space

21
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:47,200
as you put different gases into the

22
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:49,840
atmosphere or gases increase the ir

23
00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:52,880
changes and in the microwave also

24
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:55,119
there are a lot of changes happening in

25
00:02:01,350 --> 00:01:58,880
our atmosphere the npp satellite will

26
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:01,360
continue this series it gives us

27
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:03,439
real-time information but allows us to

28
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:04,240
see

29
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:06,719
how our atmosphere and the planet are

30
00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:09,360
changing

31
00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:12,239
there's a lot of interconnecting systems

32
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:14,000
that all

33
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:15,760
require measurements to try to

34
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:17,840
understand so if you're looking at the

35
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:20,400
sea surface temperature

36
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:22,000
how does that relate to the amount of

37
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:23,920
moisture in the atmosphere which can

38
00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:26,480
then we measure with npp which then

39
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:28,879
changes the weather which then changes

40
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:30,720
land use which then changes the amount

41
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:33,200
of dust or the greenness so these are

42
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,720
all connected things that we're trying

43
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:37,200
to understand so by making all of these

44
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:39,200
individual measurements that helps us

45
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,400
get a sense of what the whole picture is

46
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:44,080
if we can provide

47
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:46,319
very quick response to changes that are

48
00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:48,000
taking place on the surface and these

49
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:50,319
data become extremely useful for the

50
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:52,080
operational community that are dealing

51
00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:54,000
with disasters or

52
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:55,920
major events so for example by

53
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:57,760
monitoring the drought in different

54
00:03:02,390 --> 00:02:59,200
parts of the world

55
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:02,400
food aid can be allocated to relieve

56
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:04,720
famine and help people from

57
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:07,360
from suffering because of shortages of

58
00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:08,640
food

59
00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:11,599
if there are major flooding events

60
00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:14,000
we can give an indication of the extent

61
00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:15,519
of the flooding from the satellite if

62
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,519
these data are provided in near real

63
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,959
time
