The Earth System Science Spheres - Hydrosphere
Like parts of the human body, Earth’s “spheres” interact with one another in complex ways. To understand Earth as an integrated system, NASA collaborates with its domestic and international partners to support satellite missions and field campaigns that measure key Earth processes across different places and times of year.
The hydrosphere is represented by SWOT river surface elevation on land and sea surface heigh anomaly on the ocean. Studies of the hydrosphere encompass observation, understanding, and prediction of the distribution and movement of water in the Earth System. Specifically, NASA Hydrosphere studies water and energy cycles across land, ocean, and the atmosphere.
