When a powerful complex of thunderstorms affected Oklahoma NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM core satellite analyzed the power of those storms. More storms are expected on June 26.
Selected intervals in the past that were as warm or warmer than today can help us understand what the Earth may be like under future global warming.
A latest assessment of past warm periods, published today in Nature Geoscience by an international team of 59 scientists from 17 nations, shows that in response to the warming ecosystems and climate zones will spatially shift and on millennial time scales ice sheets will substantially shrink.
Tropical Storm Daniel was weakening when NASA’s Terra satellite passed overhead on June 24 and by June 26 the storm degenerated into a remnant low pressure area.

Tiny valleys near the top of Antarctica’s ice sheet reach temperatures of nearly minus 100 degrees Celsius (minus 148 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter, a new study finds.
