GRACE mission: 15 years of watching water on Earth
Description: In 15 years of operations, the GRACE satellite mission has revolutionized our view of how water moves and is stored on Earth. GRACE measures changes in the local pull of gravity as water shifts around Earth due to changing seasons, weather and climate processes. GRACE gave us the first space-based view of water beneath Earth's surface, giving insight into where aquifers may be shrinking or dry soils contributing to drought. [Source: NASA Climate Change News]
