Maintenance on Earth Online on 31 May

Earth observation is a vital tool for facilitating the sustainable development of the world's cities, helping to ensure that urban centres keep spurring collaboration, innovation and opportunity as they continue to expand.

How satellite data empower sustainable urban growth

Climate change is rapidly altering the world’s ecosystems, causing extreme weather conditions, such as droughts, to become increasingly frequent. Understanding the factors that contribute to ecosystem resilience to extreme events is vital to develop more effective strategies for climate adaptation and mitigation.

SMOS data reveal ecosystems' resistance to drought

Due to an issue in the Swarm Equatorial Electric Field Level-2 data processing chain, the production for all spacecraft has been regenerated starting from 1 April 2023 with updated product baseline and file counter 0303.

Regenerated Swarm EEF data starting from 1 April 2023

A new study, using wind data from ESA’s Aeolus mission, highlights the importance of using satellite missions like Aeolus to improve volcanic ash forecasting and ensure aviation safety in the future.
