Eighty six percent of global evaporation and seventy eight percent of global precipitation occur over the oceans. Sea surface salinity is a key variable in understanding how fresh water input and output affect ocean dynamics and provide a better understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions linking the water cycle, ocean circulation and climate variability. The Aquarius instrument is measuring this much-needed variable.

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) will reshape the way ocean science is conducted. Recent advances in the delivery of web-based education, and use of visualization technology and data visualization tools in educational contexts, have led to the development of on-line platforms for instruction that engages students in active scientific inquiry by collecting and analyzing data of real world phenomena.

 Global sea surface salinity
 
The Aquarius mission is brimming with educational content that hits all four areas of STEM: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The design and engineering of the satellite, the science of ocean observing, the technical specifications for the mission and the importance of understanding global processes through data can all be illustrated using Aquarius as an example.

In this poster, NASA’s education and outreach team illustrates their multi-pronged approach to creating educational products and opportunities for educators to utilize information and data about Aquarius.
