Observing Storms from the International Space Station<\/h2>\n

While the International Space Station orbited 260 miles above Earth on Oct. 20, 2023, astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli snapped this image of a storm in the Arabian Sea, less than 700 miles off the coast of Oman. In addition to photographing our planet<\/a> from the space station, NASA also observes Earth with satellites. These satellites collect data on storms<\/a> that scientists can then use to create near real-time products to support disaster response.<\/p>\n

For example, NASA and JAXA\u2019s (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency)\u00a0Global Precipitation Measurement<\/a>\u00a0(GPM) satellite frequently observes the structure of precipitation within tropical cyclones and hurricanes, and the Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for GPM product<\/a> maps their intense rainfall rates over time to provide situational awareness for potential flood events. Following landfall, optical data collected by the Aqua, Terra, Landsat, or Suomi NPP satellites can map the extent and severity of flooding \u2013 and should clouds obscure the region, SAR data from\u00a0ESA Sentinel\u00a0satellites or\u00a0NASA Airborne Science<\/a>\u00a0instruments can also be used to detect flooding. In addition to giving insights into how storms form and intensify, NASA satellites also supply key inputs to weather models to help generate life-saving forecasts.<\/p>\n
