NASA Movies

The following movies were taken from "Welcome to NASA's Earth Science Enterprise" (version 2) CD. The CD, which contains several html files, was developed by NASA for educators, students and the general public. 

bulletOcean topography demonstrating geostrophic currents
bulletEl Nino H
bulletGOES Satellite image (short and no sound), Cosmosphere
bulletOcean Circulation, Conveyor Belt, Geostrophic Current, El Nino, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, Biosphere
bulletWind and Ocean Circulation, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere
