    This new dataset provides monthly mean level 3 tropospheric nitrogen dioxide concentration. It is spatiotemporally averaged per month over a standard grid using observations from the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument sensor on Copernicus Sentinel-5P from May 2018 to December

    The ESA Climate Change Initiative Fire project team has released the Harmonised Medium Resolution Burned Area product v6.0. It provides a complete monthly global time series of burned area from 2003–2024 by harmonising an older MODIS and a newer Sentinel-3 based burned-area
    MRBA60H: Harmonised Medium Resolution Burned Area dataset v6.0, 2003-2018. Comparison with other existing Medium Resolution datasets.

    Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay and the signs from our planet are clear. @UNEP is calling for action with #NowForClimate. Forests, oceans and wetlands offer solutions. But all of this needs a foundation: reliable, long-term data from space. See how @CAlbergel explains why

    This study strengthens agricultural drought monitoring! ESA-funded researchers compared high‑detail surface soil moisture maps from Copernicus Sentinel‑1 and Sentinel‑2, and a five‑year (2017–2021) daily time series from @esa's Climate Change Initiative soil moisture data
    Surface soil moisture and normalised indices per date of the product time series across the Occitanie and Tunisian study sites.

    In climate modelling, one week of extreme fires can outweigh months of “normal” smoke if we don't measure precisely enough🔥 A new study improves how a global climate model sizes wildfire smoke emissions to differentiate between normal fires and extreme "mega fires". The
    Multi-panel scientific figure comparing global wildfire smoke aerosol optical depth (AOD) in 2020: two world maps show modeled AOD (AOD_STAN) and satellite-observed AOD (AOD_VIIRS) with darker shading indicating higher smoke aerosol, plus side plots showing AOD versus latitude and model-to-satellite ratios; boxed regions highlight key fire areas such as the western U.S., South America, and central Africa.
