Featuring the power of Earth observation data at EGU
The European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2024 brings together geoscientists from all over the world, aiming to provide a forum where scientists and early career researchers can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts, in all fields of geoscience.
SMOS data distribution resumed
SMOS data distribution to end users was resumed on 12 March 2024 after confirmation of the adequate quality of the current data.
Magnetic magic: 10 reasons to be excited about Swarm
In November 2023, Swarm celebrated an impressive ten years in orbit. In that time, ESA’s magnetic mission has honed in on all sorts of mysteries - from tussling magnetic blobs to animal migration.
SMOS data outage since 22 February 2024
SMOS went into safe mode on 22 February 2024 at 05:10 UTC for reasons that are still under investigation.
New reanalysis dataset impacts SMOS Level 3 and 4 sea ice thickness
On 24 January 2024 the JRA55 reanalysis dataset was terminated and updated with the Japanese Reanalysis for Three Quarters of a Century.
Space data support Earth’s ecosystems
ESA’s Earth observation (EO) missions are making a critical contribution to monitoring transformations in our planet’s ecosystems, helping track changes in the vegetation, soil, and ocean that affect these systems.
Highlighting the value of SMOS data in space weather applications
Data from ESA’s SMOS mission are driving many space weather applications, ranging from air navigation, characterisation of solar flares, space weather modelling and ionospheric electron content mapping.
Reprocessed GRACE-FO thermosphere data available on Swarm dissemination Server
An updated version of the GRACE Follow-On dataset for thermosphere density and crosswind data has been published on the Swarm dissemination server.
Synergy of space data helps modernise irrigation systems
The growing demands on agriculture, coupled with the climate crisis, are pressurising Earth’s valuable freshwater resources and making assessment of water practices ever more important.
SMOS Tools updates
Updates for two SMOS tools have been released, offering new features and improvements.
An overview of the SMOS mission
In this video, Klaus Scipal - Biomass and SMOS Mission Manager - talks about ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission.
SMOS data reveal ecosystems' resistance to drought
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.
