RT @ESA_EO: More #EarthCARE data!

The mission multispectral imager has also delivered the first images, showcasing various types of clouds and cloud temperatures worldwide.

This image shows a thunderstorm north of Naples in Italy on 17 July.

👈The true-colour part of the image on the left shows a very clear large single cloud.
👉The right part of the image, which uses the instrument’s thermal-infrared band, shows that the top of this storm cloud was about –50°C, and that the land below was about 30°C.

So far we have seen the results from 3 out of 4 #EarthCARE instruments:
🛰️ Broadband radiometer
🛰️ Cloud profiling radar
🛰️ Multispectral Imager

We are eagerly awaiting to see the first results from the LIDAR instrument😍 https://t.co/OTaDpDbLFS

Happy launch day #EarthCARE! 🥳

Can you believe it's been two month already?
During its short time in space, EarthCARE already delivered so much - and we are so proud!

RT @esa_earthcare: Want another reason to be excited about #EarthCARE?

EarthCARE adds value to other missions! 🫶💸

In addition to its novel data, EarthCARE will continue the invaluable #climate records generated by satellites that have finished their missions, extending them in anticipation of future spaceborne instruments.

As an example, whilst EarthCARE has been in development, scientists from @KNMI have been applying its lidar algorithms to @esa_aeolus and CALIPSO data to improve existing data products and prepare for future observations.

Data from EarthCARE are foreseen to extend the record of missions such as #Aeolus, CALIPSO, CloudSat, GPM, CERES and GERB, and prepare the path for missions such as Aeolus-2, AOS and Libera that are due to launch in the coming decade.

We're well into the commissioning phase of #EarthCARE

Here's a reminder from @ESA_EarthOnline of what's happening, and what we have to look forward to!

RT @esa_earthcare: Clouds are one of the biggest mysteries in the climate system.

They play a key role in the regulating the temperature of our atmosphere ☁️🌡️

As our climate changes rapidly, understanding #clouds better will help us enormously.

This is where #EarthCARE comes in.

RT @esa_earthcare: EarthCARE's multispectral imager adds key context to its other three instruments, providing visible and thermal-infrared images that differentiate between various cloud types, aerosols and Earth’s surface.

These images from July 16 show parts of the US.

🥵☀️ You can see, for example, northern Arkansas is hot and cloud-free.

🥶☁️ The images feature part of a frontal system, with the thermal-infrared image highlighting cold high clouds in blue over southern Missouri.

RT @esa_earthcare: This time last week, there was a dazzling #aurora display for many.

We actually had to adapt our orbit manouevre plan to account for the solar storm impact.

#SpaceWeather can make things a bit soupy up there for low Earth orbit satellites, as @esaoperations can attest! 🕹️

But that didn't stop another #EarthCARE underflight from taking place over Canada, as the northern lights danced around us!

Stay tuned for more calibration and validation campaign action from our friends and colleagues at @environmentca & @NASAGoddard 📺

There she goes! #aurora #northernlights #norfolk https://t.co/QRgVSqIWBd - ESA's Swarm mission
