Measuring glacier mass changes from space is more accurate and comprehensive thanks to the CryoTEMPO-EOLIS CryoSat swath data products, which now cover glaciers worldwide.

Previously, quality checks of the Ice Baseline-E reprocessing products observed a discrepancy in the metadata of products with incremented version numbers (E002, E003).

Satellite imagery is a crucially important tool for monitoring the land, but cloud cover can often block parts of Earth’s surface from view, limiting subsequent analyses.
