00:00:05,050 --> 00:00:09,050
For twenty years, Terra has continually monitored Earth…

2
00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:16,090
…and we have benefitted.

3
00:00:16,090 --> 00:00:25,540
Together, Terra’s five sensors helps us understand our changing planet.

4
00:00:25,540 --> 00:00:32,290
From climate models to everyday applications, Terra provides data we use every day.

5
00:00:32,290 --> 00:00:38,680
Farmers and land managers can forecast how well crops will do...

6
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:46,980
…and see if there is potential threat for drought using data from MODIS.

7
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:54,800
This information can influence the price of food, affect the economy, and help humanitarian agencies provide relief where food is scarce.

8
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Before a volcano erupts, MODIS detects abnormal hot spots…

9
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,460
…triggering an automatic request for high-resolution ASTER images.

10
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:07,730
This helps people anticipate and prepare for an eruption.

11
00:01:07,730 --> 00:01:11,730
MODIS and MISR, monitor volcanic plumes of ash and smoke…

12
00:01:11,730 --> 00:01:18,060
To track how high and far they travel...

13
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:25,410
This helps keep planes away from harmful volcanic particles.

14
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:30,780
Everyday, Terra’s MODIS instrument finds active fires around the world.

15
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:34,780
The real-time fire map is one of the most in-demand products...

16
00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:38,780
…for fighting wildfires.

17
00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:46,710
Fires release harmful gas, smoke and particles into the air.

18
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:54,060
MODIS, MISR and MOPITT work together to track unsafe air quality, so people can take precautions.

19
00:01:54,060 --> 00:02:04,210
The sensors also help forecast health risks like potential breakouts of dengue virus but using land temperature data to identify where mosquitos are breeding.

20
00:02:04,210 --> 00:02:11,330
While land surface temperatures rise and our climate changes, Terra continues to monitor Earth’s climate.

21
00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:23,660
Two decades of monitoring Earth’s energy by CERES is critical to improving climate models to help us better prepare for the future.

22
00:02:23,660 --> 00:02:27,660
Terra’s contributions to the world are numerous...

23
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:44,139
…and new uses continue to be invented.
