NASA And Google Sitting in a Tree…
The world is expecting news from NASA and Google today, but New Scientist has this interesting tidbit today.
[NASA has tons of climate data.]
Now it has hit on a simple way to make that data accessible: software that superimposes it on the global 3D maps provided by Google Earth.
Called iEarth, the NASA software scours EOS databanks for information and converts it into a file that can be viewed via Google Earth. Choosing a spot on the planet’s surface will prompt iEarth to display ground-based measurements for that location, as well as data relating to the atmosphere and space above it.
It’ll be publicly available in April.
