A recent paper investigates the role of Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) and Sea Surface Temperature (SST), together with Sea Level Anomaly and Argo profiles in Tropical Instability Waves (TIWs) in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean during the period 2010–2018. Tropical Instability Waves (TIWs) are a phenomenon in which the interface between areas of warm and cold …
How to take advantage of optical satellites with near-simultaneous acquisitions to monitor fast displacements that occur at or near the Earth’s surface over large scales? Replying to this question with respect to spring river ice break-up and associated ice-runs at Northern latitudes was the objective of a study by Living Planet fellow Bas Altena who …
Using information from ESA’s Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have made a discovery about how energy generated by electrically-charged particles in the solar wind flows into Earth’s atmosphere – surprisingly, more of it heads towards the magnetic north pole than towards the magnetic south pole. Read the full story. This research was supported by the ESA …
