NASA Earth Observing System

NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) is a suite of advanced satellites and instruments designed to monitor Earth's climate, weather, land, and oceans. By collecting data on temperature, atmospheric composition, and surface changes, EOS helps scientists understand environmental processes and track climate trends. This information informs policy decisions, disaster management, and scientific research, ensuring a comprehensive picture of our planet's health. The system's data supports sustainable management of Earth's resources and enhances our ability to respond to natural hazards, playing a vital role in addressing global environmental challenges.
