The METEOR (MEsospheric TEmperature and Ozone climate data Record) project is dedicated to producing a high-quality, long-term time series of mesospheric ozone and temperature. This will be achieved by merging data from multiple satellite instruments into climate data records. Additional objective of the project is to assess trends in mesospheric temperature and ozone, with a …
Background ESA is pleased to announce the organization of the 2024 EO for Africa Symposium in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), African Association of Remote Sensing of the Environment (AARSE), the European Commission (EC), the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The …
Laia is a mathematician that works at the Finnish Meteorological Institute since 2021. She studied mathematics at the University of Barcelona and completed her PhD (2016) in number theory in a joint collaboration between the University of Barcelona and the University of Luxembourg. In 2018, she moved to Finland, where she worked as a postdoctoral …
The TRANSITION project aims to develop and implement advanced Web Services and Applications that integrate Earth Observation (EO) and non-EO data using a sophisticated Multilevel Agent-Based Modelling (ML-ABM) system. The primary goal is to support the EU Green Deal’s vision by simulating complex socio-environmental dynamics to inform policy-making and decision-making processes. Specifically, TRANSITION focuses on optimizing land …
Policy makers at local, national, and international level are increasingly being required to make decisions that mitigate the effects of climate change on society and the economy. Earth Observations (EO) are already a very important source of data to support such decisions, but making reliable predictions from this data is very difficult, particularly for more …
Aim This project aims to provide a comprehensive, long-term analysis of fuel characteristics to understand the role of vegetation in controlling the changing trends of fire activity on the planet. To achieve this goal, Fuelity will leverage the extensive information available from ESA-funded missions that have improved biomass estimations. It will also complement several other …
Among the most prominent hydrometeorological risks in the Mediterranean region is the occurrence of medicanes, namely storm-systems that attain the structural characteristics of actual tropical cyclones. Medicanes have been widely documented to inflict important socio-economic impacts in the region. Therefore, the overarching objective of this project is to address these catastrophic systems in an integrated …
The COST Action CA19109 “MedCyclones – European Network for Mediterranean Cyclones in Weather and Climate” and ESA are delighted to announce the 3rd Workshop on Mediterranean Cyclones, scheduled for 15-19 July 2024 at ESA’s ESRIN facility in Frascati, Italy. This event aims to present cutting-edge research and developments in understanding, modelling, and monitoring Mediterranean cyclones …
Extreme weather and climate hazard can cause dramatic impacts on both natural ecosystems and human wellbeing and/or infrastructure and thereby harm society as a whole. Of particular concern are compound weather and climate extreme events, where the hazardous conditions of various extreme events combine and may have more detrimental effects than individual extremes. Increasing the …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Anna Rufas. The oceans, a major sink of carbon dioxide (CO2), rely on a set of food web processes that generate gravitational sinking particles to transfer CO2 from the atmosphere to the deep ocean. These processes are collectively known as the biological carbon pump (BCP) and have become a …
