Terrestrial Hydrosphere - NASA Earthdata
Water, snow, and ice are necessary for sustaining life on Earth and help connect the planet's systems. The terrestrial hydrosphere includes water on the land surface and underground in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater along with total water storage. NASA tracks nearly every aspect of the water cycle — where precipitation is falling, where snow and ice are melting, the amount of ...

Water Temperature | NASA Earthdata
Water temperature is an essential parameter in evaluating the composition and biological activity in a water body. The temperature of lakes, rivers, and oceans affects the health of plants and animals that live in and around these bodies of water. Increased water heat can contribute to the decline and migration of fish populations, the bleaching of coral, and an increase in toxic algae blooms.

Runoff - NASA Earthdata
Runoff is the measurement of the flow of water into a lake, stream or other waterbody, usually expressed in cubic feet per second. The flow is produced by rainfall from storms, precipitation accumulation or transpiration, melting ice or snow, seepage, evaporation, and percolation.

Aqua | NASA Earthdata
The Sun influences physical and chemical processes in Earth’s atmosphere. The terrestrial hydrosphere includes water on the land surface and underground in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater along with total water storage. Get a better idea of what we mean when we use basic Earth data terms like remote sensing or data processing level.
