# NASA on the Cutting Edge: Our Water Planet From Space

“Our Water Planet From Space” is a videotape of two previously broadcast live interactive shows that explore the world’s oceans. Program 1: Oceans in Motion Ocean Circulation-the movement of water carrying heat and matter – not only affects life in the oceans but also weather and climate around the world. Because the oceans are so expansive, covering two-thirds of Earth, the only way to study them on a broad scale is by observing them from space. NASA and its partners use this unique vantage point to measure ocean height, winds, and temperature. This program examines how ocean circulation works, and the important role it plays in our lives. Program 2: The Color of Oceans How blue is the deep, blue sea? Oceans are actually many shades of blue, green, and even red. This spectrum of color tells us a lot about the health of our oceans, which affects life on Earth. NASA’s ocean-color observations from space give us the big picture of oceans and help to understand the role oceans play in global change. This program takes a look at the importance of viewing this ever-changing portrait of ocean productivity, ecosystems and human impacts.
