The EarthCARE satellite, which is poised to revolutionise our understanding of how clouds and aerosols affect our climate with its four state-of-the-art instruments, has been launched successfully.
We have a strong focus on the design and development of innovative satellite instruments, retrieval algorithms and the modeling of atmospheric chemistry and emissions.
The Clear Air consortium comprises of R&D organizations who are involved research and technology development for monitoring of the atmosphere. We aim at being globally outstanding for the use of satellite instrumentation and data products for the understanding and mitigation of climate change, air pollution and preservation of biodiversity.
The EarthCARE satellite, which is poised to revolutionise our understanding of how clouds and aerosols affect our climate with its four state-of-the-art instruments, has been launched successfully.
As the world goes on, an exciting time is dawning for climate scientists. For years, they have wanted more certainty about the warming and cooling mechanisms in the atmosphere due to the influence of different types of clouds and aerosols. After years of preparatory work, the new cloud satellite EarthCARE is going to rigorously bring more certainty to humanity about this.
NASA’s PACE climate satellite with the Dutch instrument SPEXone onboard now offers the world access to satellite images distinguishing types and sizes of aerosols. SPEXone also measures the extent to which aerosols absorb and reflect sunlight.
