NASA | Aqua CERES: Tracking Earth's Heat Balance

The video explains how Earth's temperature is influenced by solar radiation and greenhouse gases, which alter the radiation balance. NASA uses instruments like CERES and MODIS on satellites to measure these changes. Natural events such as La Nina, El Nino, and volcanic activity also impact the energy budget. Researchers use long-term data to identify trends in global warming, supported by measurements of ocean heat, sea level rise, and land ice volume.
