We're floating on Cloud 9 when people enjoy our exhibits! ☁️😇

Visit the Mesa Lab and experience the cloud simulator for yourself!

We thought we'd start this week off with some really cool imagery via Japan's #Himawari9 🛰️, captured on Jan. 17.

These are #noctilucent or "night shining" clouds above Antarctica. Consisting of ice crystals, these thin, wavy, bluish-white #clouds are best seen at twilight in polar latitudes. They form at altitudes of about 50-60 miles above Earth's surface.

Find out how a new @ESA and @JAXA_en satellite called EarthCARE, to be launched later this month, will provide unprecedented data on #clouds and #aerosols that will help us to initialise our weather forecasts and improve physical processing in the model. ➡️https://t.co/bfFDTBeNsy https://t.co/E0NaAlkd0h

Our newly launched @esa #EarthCARE mission is now on X as well!

Think you know #clouds? Think again!

#EarthCARE will demystify these big and misty, often thin and wispy, and occasionally thunderous behemoths.

We’ll also shine a light on aerosols like pollution and dust, and how they and clouds regulate Earth's #climate.

RT @esa_earthcare: Why should we care about #EarthCARE? 🤔

EarthCARE will improve #weather forecasts!

#Clouds are an integral feature of the weather. There would not be much rain without a hefty nimbus cloud or two around... ☁️🌩️⛈️☔️

Whilst EarthCARE was in preparation, despite it being beyond the mission’s initial scope, forecasters @ECMWF were already investigating whether the satellite’s novel cloud data might contribute to weather prediction.

To do that, they had to check whether information such as radar and lidar data could be added to their global weather models.

Using data from past missions, such as NASA’s CloudSat and the NASA/CNES CALIPSO satellite, they already started seeing improvements in prediction of temperature, wind, and precipitation.

Then #Aeolus came along, carrying a very similar lidar instrument to EarthCARE’s. @esa_aeolus's wind data hugely boosted weather forecasts, and scientists have already been using its data to prepare the way for EarthCARE.

With all the novel cloud data about to be revealed, it will be an exciting few years for weather forecasters.

Today's ~research~ forecast is cloudy with a chance of showers of info about the formation of rain! ☔️

A research team led by NSF NCAR's @DrKKchandraka found that turbulence in clouds is key to how rain droplets form.

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.

NHC is monitoring a low #pressure system off the coast of northeastern Florida and eastern Georgia. Most of the clouds are concentrated at the eastern half of the system. In fact, there are very little #clouds from the coast to the western side of the low. https://t.co/Q0RRmOq82s
