This ITT is part of the Ocean Science Cluster and contributes to the joint EC-ESA Earth System Science Initiative launched in February 2020 by the European Space Agency and the European Commission (EC) Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) to jointly advance Earth System Science and its response to the global challenges that society …
The European Space Agency, in the context of the “FutureEO – Earth Observation Science for Society” Programme, and the World Climate Research Program are organising the Earth Energy Imbalance Assessment workshop, which will be hosted ad a hybrid event at ESA-ESRIN, Frascati (Rome), Italy, Monday 15 to Wednesday 17 May 2023. TARGET AUDIENCE …
Over the last decades, greenhouse gases and aerosol concentrations have been increasing in the atmosphere, disrupting the balance in the Earth system between incoming and outgoing radiation fluxes. Part of the outgoing longwave radiation being blocked, the system has reemitted less energy towards space than it has received from the Sun. This imbalance at the …
A new product from “altimetry-gravimetry”, developed within the MOHeaCAN project, is now available for download. It contains monthly time series (between August 2002 and June 2017) of several variables, the main ones being the regional Ocean Heat Content (OHC) (3°x3° spatial resolution grids), the global OHC and the Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) indicator. Uncertainties are …
Since the industrial era, anthropogenic emissions of Greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere have lowered the total amount of infrared energy radiated by the Earth towards space. Now the Earth is emitting less energy towards space than it receives radiative energy from the sun. As a consequence there is an Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) at …
