Global warming: New NASA aerial mission explore impacts Arctic sea ice loss
2014-09-06 19:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: The ongoing loss of Arctic sea ice is probably already affecting weather and climate in the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere. Researchers aren`t exactly sure of how, but there`s been plenty of speculation, mostly focused around changes in the jet stream. Climate scientists may know a bit more in a few years after they study the results of a new NASA field campaign studying the effect of sea ice retreat on Arctic climate. The Arctic Radiation IceBridge Sea and Ice Experiment (ARISE) will...
NASA releases blizzard of precipitation data
2014-09-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Have you been itching to see the most detailed collection of precipitation data ever pulled together? (Join the club.) Well, you're in luck. NASA has just released a vast trove of snow, rain, hail and more liquid measurements from a satellite launched earlier this year. In late February, NASA and an international cohort of space programs launched the Global Precipitation Measurement Core Observatory (or GPM for short), the centerpiece of a constellation of satellites watching precipitation around...

The ultimate remote admin: NASA will reformat Opportunitys dodgy flash memory from 125 million miles away
2014-09-02 17:56:55| Extremetech
It would seem, despite being outfitted with the finest flash memory that money can buy, even Mars rover Opportunity isn't immune to worn-out NAND cells. After a dozen unplanned reboots in August, most likely caused by the faulty flash, NASA is moving ahead with a complete reformat of the rover's volatile memory. Back in 2004, Opportunity's sibling rover -- Spirit -- was brought back from the brink of death with a similar reformatting maneuver. Considering Opportunity has now been roving the surface of Mars for over a decade, and all it has required is some small software updates and now a format, I'd say the little rover has done rather well.
