What if satellite cloud data could become music? Meet Hakuryu — a dragon born as the European Space Agency's EarthCARE satellite, singing a song of peace for our planet 🐉☁️🎶 This is an incredible sonification project! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vsr...

Congratulations to EarthCARE on its first year in space! 🎉 This @esa.int & JAXA Earth observation mission uses 4 instruments to study how clouds and aerosols affect Earth’s heating and cooling ☁️ 🌏 earth.esa.int/eogateway/su... @esaearth.esa.int

#EarthCARE has now been in orbit for a whole year! 🛰 As well as making amazing new measurements of clouds🌧 aerosols and radiation🌞, we've had some surprises: EarthCARE can measure insects🪰 and even phytoplankton in the ocean🌊 Happy birthday EarthCARE! 🎂 earth.esa.int/eogateway/su...

Great to see this research on Arctic sea-ice volume from CPOM Associate Investigators, Harry Heorton & @micheltsamados.bsky.social (both @ucl.ac.uk), Jack Landy and Paul R Holland, featured in this article by @esa.int 👇 earth.esa.int/eogateway/su...

#OTD 8 April 2010, launch of #Cryosat2, Europe's first mission dedicated to studying Earth’s ice ❄️ and water 💦 Still operational 15 years later! 👏 Happy launch anniversary #CryoSat2! 🎉 🔗 earth.esa.int/eogateway/su... @esaearth.esa.int

ESA's magnificent ice mission celebrates 15 years in space today! 💫 🌌 🚀 🛰️🧊🧪 🥳 New research highlights why CryoSat is so treasured, using its phenomenal record since 2010 to show how growth, melt & drift contribute to interannual changes in Arctic sea ice 👌 earth.esa.int/eogateway/su...

We've just published another great image from ESA's EarthCARE satellite, which captured a major storm system over Spain on 11 March. Between the 1 and 24 March 2025 Madrid recorded its highest rainfall since records began in 1893. earth.esa.int/eogateway/su...

Oh my there's a haiku here somewhere. We blame oil and gas but gobble up tat en masse. Climate change, alas

I personally don't see an end to GHG emissions when we blame oil and gas, but ever-increasingly consume tat en masse. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Many books and documentaries detail the terror of getting stuck in the Northwest passage, where many ships met a frostbitten demise in search of a way through. @amyswiggs.bsky.social did this cracking piece of research using CryoSat to help map its icy narrows! 🔭🧪🛰️ earth.esa.int/eogateway/su...
