-- Climate Change Research Division
http://www.sc.doe.gov/ober/CCRD_top.html
The Climate Change Research Division
includes process research and modeling
efforts to (1) improve understanding of
factors affecting the Earth's radiant-energy
balance; (2) predict accurately any global
and regional climate change induced by
increasing atmospheric concentrations of
aerosols and greenhouse gases; (3) quantify
sources and sinks of energy-related
greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide;
and (4) improve the scientific basis for
assessing both the potential consequences of
climatic changes, including the potential
ecological, social, and economic
implications of human-induced climatic
changes caused by increases in greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere and the benefits and
costs of alternative response options.
Research is focused on understanding the
basic chemical, physical, and biological
processes of the Earth's atmosphere, land,
and oceans and how these processes may be
affected by energy production and use,
primarily the emission of carbon dioxide
from fossil fuel combustion. A major part of
the research is designed to provide the data
that will enable an objective assessment of
the potential for, and consequences of,
global warming. The program is comprehensive
with an emphasis on the radiation balance
from the surface of the Earth to the top of
the atmosphere, including the role of clouds
and on improving quantitative models
necessary to predict possible climate change
at the global and regional levels.

The Best of NASA’s
Climate Visuals |
|
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/earthandsun/climate_change.html
From polar ice to
phytoplankton, parts of the earth
system are constantly changing. At
NASA, scientists strive to better
understand these changes and how
they are interconnected. Using
remote-sensing data from satellites,
this research diagnoses our planet’s
current health and will help future
generations and explorers understand
the earth system as a whole.
This resource collection highlights
the best of NASA's climate-related
visualizations. Showcasing elements
of the entire earth system, this
compilation includes years of
remarkable satellite data in one,
convenient location.
