Nature thrives when habitats are respected 🌿 Protecting land today ensures wildlife can exist naturally for generations to come. 🌎🐦 #WildlifeConservation #EarthCare

“Growth at all costs” has cost us:
🔹 Rising seas
🔹 Mass extinction
🔹Heat wave
🔹Toxic air

The planet is not a resource. It’s our life support.
Respect it before it’s too late.
#Sustainability #EarthCare

The most powerful climate action isn’t a gadget. It’s humility.
Admit we don’t own the Earth—we belong to it.
Once you stop trying to dominate nature, you can start living with it.
#Sustainability #EarthCare

True development isn't measured by what we build.
It's measured by how responsibly we treat the only home we have.
Our arrogance is costing the Earth.
It's time to wake up and show her the care she deserves.
💚
#EarthCare #Sustainability

The arrogance of humanity in our endless pursuit of "development" has blinded us to one harsh truth: our planet is fragile.
Every action has consequences.
It's time we replace arrogance with respect and care for Earth.

EarthCARE cross section of radar reflectivity for the segment of collocation with #Polar5. The circle shows the reflectivity signal of the aircraft.

Yesterday was another very good day for #COMPEX. We had a flight fully dedicated to #EarthCARE and a perfect rendez-vous over cumulus with some precipitation in a cold air outbreak.🧪 #remotesensing #AC3 #Svalbard @unicologne.bsky.social

Intended track (green) of #Polar5 from Longyearbyen airport to collocate with #EarthCARE (light orange line). In the background, #ICON model forecast for total cloud cover is shown for 15 UTC, half an hour before the #EarthCARE overflight.

It's another day for #EarthCARE during #COMPEX. RF08 will bring us on #Polar5 to the South-West of #Svalbard where we try to collocate with #EarthCARE again.. 🧪 #remotesensing #AC3 #Svalbard @unicologne.bsky.social

🌍 The arrogance of humanity in our pursuit of development often blinds us to the consequences of our actions. We must recognize that our planet is fragile and requires our respect and care. #Sustainability #EarthCare

Unfortunately, we had to cancel the #EarthCARE underflight due to a probability of low visibility at Longyearbyen airport for the arrival time. Up here, you're not flying out on a maybe. 🧪 #remotesensing #AC3 #Svalbard

Quicklook from the Ny-Ålesund radar for the day the aircraft was flying above with two radars. Overpass was during the early afternoon.

RF04 was on sublimation processes around #NyAlesnd. Tomorrow, we're heading for our first #EarthCARE collocation of #COMPEX. We hope to find the clouds the models predict for the target region.🧪 #remotesensing #AC3 #Svalbard

EarthCARE shows the distribution of mineral dust in the atmosphere Global distribution of mineral dust measured with EarthCARE’s high-spectral-resolution atmospheric lidar (ATLID) from June to August 2025 based on the EarthCARE products ATL_EBD_2A and ATL_TC__2A. ATLID detects the presence of aerosol with a resolution of about 1 km horizontally and 100 m vertically. For the global map, all data points that had been classified as dust were counted and allocated to 1° × 1° latitude-longitude grid boxes over the observation period of June to August 2025. The colours indicate the number of data points classified as dust in 1° × 1° latitude-longitude grid boxes. Credit: Leonard König, TROPOS.

Globale Verteilung von Wüstenstaub, gemessen mit dem atmosphärischen Lidar (ATLID) von EarthCARE von Juni bis August 2025, basierend auf den EarthCARE-Produkten ATL_EBD_2A und ATL_TC__2A. ATLID erkennt das Vorhandensein von Aerosolen mit einer Auflösung von etwa 1 km in horizontaler und 100 m in vertikaler Richtung. Für die globale Karte wurden alle Datenpunkte, die als Staub klassifiziert worden waren, gezählt und über den Beobachtungszeitraum von Juni bis August 2025 auf 1° × 1° große Längen- und Breitengrad-Gitterzellen verteilt. Die Farben geben die Anzahl der als Staub klassifizierten Datenpunkte in 1° × 1° Breiten-Längen-Gitterzellen an. Quelle: Leonard König, TROPOS.

Third Meeting of the #EarthCARE Quality Working Group, #TROPOS, #Leipzig, 3-5 March 2026. This scientific advisory board has 26 members from renowned atmospheric research institutions in #Europe, #Canada & #Japan. It supports @esa.int and #JAXA during the exploitation phase of the EarthCARE mission.

The left column shows various EarthCARE measurements of a deep nimbostratus cloud over Ontario. The right column shows comparisons between EarthCARE’s estimates and in situ aircraft measurements. The bottom two rows confirm that the terminal fall speed of snowflakes is fairly constant whereas the vertical motion of the air fluctuates rapidly and can be estimated well from EarthCARE, the first time this has been possible from space.

There have now been 100 aircraft under-flights of #EarthCARE, each providing invaluable information to calibrate and validate the data products. This example shows very good agreement between EarthCARE and aircraft vertical air motion in nimbostratus. Full article here: earth.esa.int/eogateway/su...
