SUMMARY
As we know polar bears are most affected by the warming of our planet and melting of ice around the poles. That why it is very important that satellites like NPP constantly monitor the Earth's health from space to help scientist build models and predict how climate is changing overtime. Follow NPPy in this and other episodes to come and find out more about his adventures and the NPP mission.
GOALS
This video helps explain the goal of the NPP satellite and other similar satellites for monitoring our climate and predicting changes in a way that is clearer to younger students.
