The MIDAS project studied the use of scatterometer wind data within mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models.
ADD-CROSS assesses the impact of cross-channel assimilation on air quality and numerical weather prediction (NWP).
AboutThe purpose of this study is to help estimate the individual impacts of current Aeolus observations and future EPS-Aeolus-like observations on NWP.
This study aimed to enhance the EUMETSAT vicarious calibration system across a selection of bright desert pseudo-invariant calibration sites.
The bloom is most likely caused by coccolithophores (cyan colour) and other phytoplankton species. Phytoplankton play a key role in marine ecosystems as the basis of the food chain.
This week’s image of the week shows colourful phytoplankton off the coast of Argentina.

The cloud patterns are known as von Kármán vortices and are formed over the ocean when islands disrupt the wind flow. The strength of the wind affects the patterns of the swirls.
This week’s image of the week shows Storm Kathleen which brought strong winds and rain to the UK and Ireland during the weekend of 6-7 April 2024.
