0:18 the Earth's climate is changing in some places
0:21 faster than predicted
0:23 something for someone is cranking up the heat
0:26 and many scientists say the main corporate
0:29 is us climate change affects
0:33 almost everything on our planet including people
0:37 but to climate change affects something is huge
0:40 as deep as mysterious as our oceans
0:43 earth scientists are determined to find out
0:46 you can see the atmosphere
0:50 you can see the land on but you can't really see beneath the ocean surface
0:54 and so you start wondering you know what's going on
0:58 the part that you can see walking a very small part in the atmosphere we walk on
1:03 the land and that's how that interaction
1:06 takes place with the ocean the atmosphere in the land that the term
1:09 ends in our quality of life our goal is to understand the interconnected
1:14 at all for years people have work to unravel the mysteries of the oceans
1:20 scientists gather data from ships and buoys on the surface
1:24 the new take the plunge to explore
1:27 ocean depths employ overhead to get a bigger picture
1:31 but one of the best usable oceans
1:34 might be from way way over here it's the view from space
1:39 the one thing that nasa satellites to you
1:43 that nothing else does ships or believes or anything else
1:48 it actually did you on picture upload within a few days
1:53 get a much broader you what's going on in some part in her system
1:58 you coming back together time senator ok
2:02 thousands of satellites orbit our planet some work out into space
2:06 others look back at us
2:10 member some the sensors on the satellite
2:14 act like giant digital cameras taking pictures in visible light
2:18 the kind our eyes seeing on land
2:21 these images show was when plants turn green with the changing seasons
2:25 they hope a super dirt in pollution drain into the sea
2:29 and for microscopic plankton rising
2:33 use tiny organisms are not only the base of the marine food web
2:37 they give us the air we breathe we are dependent on
2:42 like in the water especially in the ocean there are small plants called
2:47 phytoplankton that are responsible for 50 percent up the oxygen
2:51 your breathing right now other kinds of satellite sensors look at the earth
2:57 enough for different light heat sensing satellite instruments take the earth's
3:02 temperature by measuring
3:04 infrared energy infrared wavelengths are invisible to our eyes
3:08 but some satellites conceived lemme
3:14 and as our climate changes we can see ocean temperatures
3:17 on the rise up
3:23 other satellite shows peaks and valleys
3:26 not just on land but believe it or not
3:29 on the surface of the ocean ok
3:33 and as buy some land melt
3:37 they are increasingly more highs than lows sea level
3:41 is rising the
3:46 soon a new satellite will even help us see tiny particles on the ocean surface
3:51 likes of which drive huge conveyor belts water through the world's oceans
3:55 connecting current in moving heat from pole to pole way climate change could
4:01 mean big changes for oceans
4:04 and that in turn would make life very different for those of us on prime land
4:14 the clinton actually changes in the oceans changed to respond to that
4:17 chains it most definitely will impact like this you know it
4:20 in a special you need
4:25 understand exactly how we stay here
4:28 and how we're gonna survive popular in the climate
4:31 and even our life cycle requires understanding what the waters
4:38 our climate is changing in some places
4:41 faster than predicted home by using science to understand those changes
4:46 we can find ways to protecting our oceans and ourselves
4:50 that make a world of difference in
5:02 might go in
5:10 good
