A cloud radar in space that can also get ocean echoes? WIVERN is selected for @esaearth.esa.int EE11! OK, I did have a different proposal for EE11 called STREAM ... and I also got involved in the EE11 proposal SEASTAR... so this is really not optimized for currents www.esa.int/Applications...

A swirl with an eye and a nose? Nope, not weather—just river sediment in Yana Bay, seen by Sentinel-2. Nature sketches its own cartoons in one of the Arctic’s remotest deltas. Explore the full story in our new #BCEarthGallery article! #Sentinel2 #YanaBay #LaptevSea #Arctic 👉 bit.ly/4n6ne67

Sediment plumes like this form when rivers carry fine particles into the sea. Currents then swirl them into vortices, reshaping coastlines, altering ecosystems, and even affecting how sunlight penetrates the ocean surface.🟢🌀 @aida-alvera.bsky.social 🌊

A cool halo today 🌞 We could also see the upper tangent arc but it doesn't show in the pictures...

Wow! I was at the 2016 colloquium (which has by far the most beautiful room I've ever presented in), and can't believe we are approaching a decade already!

It's about time we start organizing the Liege Colloquium for 2026! Submesocale Processes in the ocean will be the topic, a revisit of the Colloquium of 2016. 10 years of advances! I'll try to document here the journey towards organizing such an event, maybe there's interest? #LiegeOcean26 🌊🧪

My horizon yesterday was too high to properly see the eclipse, but I did manage to see it partially. It's always humbling to see these events. Shaky hand-held picture, just for the records 😅

And here a short #timelapse of the #eclipse. You can see the dim red area shrinking as the moon comes out of the Earth's shadow. 🔭 🧪

Best glory I’ve ever seen from a plane! It’s an optical phenomenon that occurs when light interacts in and around tiny droplets of water in the clouds, in the direction opposite the sun. More complex than a rainbow. Here’s a link to some more info: www.zmescience.com/science/phys... #optics #physics

Give this well-written story a chance even if you don't like pigeons (and you should like them).

Delighted to see that the next Meteosat satellite will launch on a European rocket. MTG-I2 will complete the imaging constellation for Europe's next generation weather satellites, providing vital warnings for severe weather, wildfires, and more.

I took this photo today because I liked the structure of the clouds, but I realise now there is a small smile emoji around the middle of the picture 😄 #clouds

🌊 I'm looking for pictures of waves that are related to the big North Pacific storm of December 21, 2024, in order to provide some "sea level" view of the fantastic swells generated by that storm and captured all across the Pacific and South Atlantic between Dec. 21 and Jan. 7. odl.bzh/aOmgji1w

Congratulations to Jacob Wenegrat for his work on oceanography and small scales, massive data and the Foffonoff award. www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...

A spectacular "cold wake" is evident along former-hurricane Erin's track. This is a normal feature caused by strong winds upwelling/mixing cooler water from below. Erin was not only very intense but also very large, which also helps with the upwelling. The water temperatures will gradually recover.

My latest: The Trump administration is not waiting for the next fiscal year -- or Congress -- to cut climate science at NOAA. A new document details the money it won't spend *this* year on climate research.

I like looking at these images, there's always so much happening... Large blob of Saharan dust over the Atlantic ocean today. And what about that long front in the north! I guess it's the remnants of hurricane Erin 🌀

A wave train entering into the North Sea, seen by #Sentinel1 on 12 August. I am guessing it's tidal-related, but I have never seen this kind of signal in this region in SAR data before, pretty cool 😎 @jowilliams.bsky.social

In our first episode of Ask a Scientist, @mparrington.bsky.social answers your top questions about wildfire emissions, how we monitor smoke from space, the impact on air quality, and more! Watch the full video on our YouTube channel youtu.be/57T1qkVY6jo

🌊 This July, an extensive algal bloom spread across the Baltic Sea, clearly visible from space thanks to fewer clouds than last year. Our #BCEarthGallery blog shows striking satellite images from 18 and 21 July. #BalticSea #AlgalBloom #EarthObservation #OceanColour 👉 bit.ly/4mvzJYE

Incredible growth in the scale of devastating Iberian Peninsula #wildfires through mid-August reflected in #CopernicusAtmosphere GFAS estimated fire emissions with Spain reaching it's highest annual total of past 23 years (& Portugal's since 2017) @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social @ecmwf.int #IIFF

A cool rock 📈

Still these reddish skies, as wind brings the smoke from fires towards the northern coast of Spain. Dreadful situation. We even noticed ashes raining down today ☹️☹️☹️

Excuse me? End of Earth science at NASA??? 🧪 ⚒️

This is insane… I’ve got no words 😔 via EUMETVIEW / @eumetsat.int / @eumetsat-users.bsky.social #Portugal #Spain #Espagne #Wildfire #Incendios #IncêndioFlorestal #FeuxDeForets #Incendie

Ourense. Montes colindantes al noroeste del Parque Natural O Invernadeiro, y al oeste: Arrasados. Ojo a las dimensiones (escala arriba a la izquierda). Sentinel-2, falso color (el rojo muestra el infrarrojo). Comparación de días 1, 11 y 13 de este mes. #incendios 🧪

🔥😔 La imagen de la península tomada hoy por el satélite satélite Terra duele: múltiples incendios, un cielo cubierto de humo en gran parte de nuestro país… y una tristeza que casi se respira desde el espacio. 🌍🛰️

Reddish sky & ambient today in Spain's northern coast as smoke from various fires in Spain and Portugal reaches the region ☹️

🌊 Interested in taking part in the 6th International Ocean Colour Science Meeting? #IOCS25 ⚠️Last call! Poster abstracts submission: www.eumetsat.int/6th-internat... And applications for the multi-sensor satellite ocean colour course: classroom.eumetsat.int/course/view.... ⚠️Close Friday!

🌊 Great meeting on remote sensing of the ocean coming up in charming Darmstadt! Last time it was there, this meeting was great for early career networking, science and general scientific frolic. Sadly, not sure how many, if any of NASA peeps will be able to participate..

Let yourself be hypnotized by these #rotor #clouds. The wind blows over the #mountain ridge and the setting sun behind the ridge gives the background light. The #vortices are very coherent. This #timelapse compresses around 30 min. into 15 secs. 🧪 ⚛️

Some bon-Danish colleagues yesterday were talking about how strange it is on Denmark that you can always see he horizon, there are no mountains in the background really. That's definitely only partly true, but on the other hand we have incredible clouds. #Cloudscapes

Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America. By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪

WTF? I was quoted in this story but I have never spoken to the reporter nor would I have said those things. Is everything just generated by LLMs these days? cosmosmagazine.com/earth/oceans...

Tsunamis in Hawaii. Heights in metres. Notice how the first wave wasn't the biggest. Real time data at www.ioc-sealevelmonitoring.org/station.php?...

Alboran Sea surface temperature seen by #Sentinel3. And a curious thing: the low temperature at ~6degW is due to upwelling along the coast of Spain -> this cold tongue presents a lower roughness (see right image, natural colour, where there's no glint), probably because of suppressed wind 🌊

We don’t need to know this to know that no one should be deprived of food and water.

Our image of the week: Impressive von Kármán vortices spotted near the Canary Islands. 😶‍🌫️ Captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite on 12 July, these cloud swirls form over the ocean when islands disrupt the steady wind flow. Find out more about the image here: bit.ly/4kVwkRe
