ESA's EarthCARE mission
@esa_earthcare@esa’s cloud mission, with @JAXA_en. EarthCARE, "White Dragon", probes the mysteries of clouds and aerosols and the role they play in regulating the climate
Huge news for #EarthCARE Our four instruments are all fired up. Now, see how they all work in combination to probe the power of clouds and aerosols! The video shows data from 18 Sep, including the various features of a thunderstorm over Italy ⛈️☔ 👉esa.int/Applications/O…
One enticing prospect of EarthCARE is improving weather forecasts! Mark Fielding, Physical Processes Team Scientist at ECMWF, discusses how @ECMWF is involved in the calibration and validation activities of EarthCARE, using their amazing model to check its measurements are ✅👌
We're sharing some Space Team Europe videos this week, meeting some of the people behind EarthCARE. Here, Annkatrin Schaube, ATLID Operations Architect at @AirbusSpace, talks about EarthCARE’s atmospheric lidar, which measures the vertical profile of aerosols and clouds 🏜️☁️📏
(1 of 5) JUST IN: The planet saw its 2nd-warmest October in 175-year record. 2024 on pace to be the world's warmest year on record. bit.ly/3Z0kxJs @NOAANCEI #StateOfClimate
EarthCARE's broadband radiometer measures the radiative fluxes at the top of Earth's atmosphere. David Spilling, Broadband Radiometer Principal Engineer @Thales_Alenia_S, explains the role of Thales Alenia Space as prime contractor for the instrument. esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…
EarthCARE is a joint venture between @esa and @JAXA_en In this video, Hirotaka Nakatsuka, Associate Senior Engineer at JAXA, discusses JAXA’s role developing the cloud profiling radar, which allows EarthCARE to see clouds like never before 😶🌫️ esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…
This week, let's meet some of the people who helped bring EarthCARE to life! First up, Matthias Gollor, EarthCARE Principal Electrical & Cloud Profiling Radar Engineer, Andreas Jung, System Software Engineer and Elena Checa, Thermal Engineer, explain their roles at @esa
💡🛰️The @atmo_access @ACTRISRI contribution to @esa_earthcare validation activities was presented today at the #ACTRISweek National Facility Forum session by Holger Baars from @TROPOS_eu
🥵
🌡️The year 2024 is on track to be the warmest year on record, with the global average near surface temperature even higher than in 2023, according to the World Meteorological Organization (@WMOFull). 🔗Full story: wmo.int/media/news/wmo…
📢 Our PhD candidates Peristera Paschou and Ioanna Tsikoudi are in the historic city of Matera, joining Europe’s experts for this year’s #ACTRISweek on climate and air quality research! Stay tuned for updates and learn more about #ACTRIS 👉 actris.eu
It's #ACTRISWeek! 53 @ACTRISRI ground stations support #EarthCARE calibration and validation The network is so dense, EarthCARE flies over at least one of the stations practically every day More on the @TROPOS_eu led project 👉atmo-access.eu/how-atmo-acces…
🌍✨ #ACTRISWeek is in full swing in the stunning city of Matera! With over 350 participants, we're diving into groundbreaking discussions on atmospheric research & collaboration. #ACTRISCommunity #WeAreACTRIS #EU_RIs
We are looking for abstracts that will make the next edition of @esa's Living Planet Symposium the best one ever: are you preparing yours? The deadline is 1 December, you can find a list of the proposed sessions here: lps25.esa.int/sessions/
I love looking at clouds. On Mars. (1000s of images: tinyurl.com/3anmbszv @DLR_en)
Some of the #ECMWF team attended the International Conference on Reanalysis in Tokyo this week. Today Alison Cobb, ECMWF Global Reanalysis Scientist, joined a panel on improving reanalyses, & their future use, representing the new WCRP ESMO Core Project➡️wcrp-esmo.org
🛰️ The first combined measurements of @esa's #EarthCARE #satellite are here! 🛰️Our team works on the accuracy and reliability of the data, by coordinating the calibration & validation (#calval) activities – crucial for the mission’s success 🎯Read more: tinyurl.com/4bz8hewz
Spain is suffering its worst flood in decades after torrential rains struck the eastern province of Valencia. The death toll is climbing and people remain missing. 📸These images from Landsat-8 satellite illustrate the scale of the disaster, with images from October 8 and…
Devastating floods in parts of #Spain after year's worth of rain fell in less than 24 hours. The animation below from #MTGI1 clearly shows large thunderstorms with strong lightning activity, causing exceptional rainfall and flash floods between 00:00 UTC yesterday - 10:00 today.
How did humanity came together to take action to shrink the ozone hole? And what does space have to do with it? Here's a cool video with all the answers you were looking for: youtube.com/watch?v=Qy4fYW…
The 2024 ozone hole is the 7th-smallest since recovery began when the Montreal Protocol took effect in 1992, @nasa and @noaa report today. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3AnwTlr
Happy #halloween 👻 You know what's really scary? Global ice loss due to climate change. The polar ice sheets have together lost ice in every year of the satellite record, and the seven highest melting years have occurred in the last decade. 👉esa.int/Applications/O…
We're currently listening to a fascinating seminar from Bjorn Stevens of the Max Planck Institute on the recent ORCESTRA campaign... ...rediscovering the doldrums, and more! A reminder of this amazing campaign, which also helped validate EarthCARE 🛰️ 👉blogs.esa.int/campaignearth/…
🌪️ Windy Wednesday 🌪️ This time two years ago, Aeolus data were shown to have potential to improve projections of a long-established #hurricane forecasting system in the US. Satellites are very handy for regions with fewer resources for observations! 👉earth.esa.int/eogateway/news…
