RT @esa_earthcare: EarthCARE instruments: explained
Kotska Wallace, #EarthCARE’s Mission and Optical Payload Manager, explains how EarthCARE's four instruments give a complete view of the interplay between clouds, aerosols and radiation: a high priority in #climate research and #weather prediction https://t.co/ucR8ix6uRR

More #EarthCARE data!
The mission multispectral imager has also delivered the first images, showcasing various types of clouds and cloud temperatures worldwide.
This image shows a thunderstorm north of Naples in Italy on 17 July.
👈The true-colour part of the image on the left shows a very clear large single cloud.
👉The right part of the image, which uses the instrument’s thermal-infrared band, shows that the top of this storm cloud was about –50°C, and that the land below was about 30°C.

RT @esa_earthcare: Another reason to care about #EarthCARE...
Global validation campaigns boost science!
An extensive network of scientists will validate EarthCARE data, by assessing them in comparison to reference data that will be collected from other satellites, planes, ships, and ground-based sensors.
Several large, international validation campaigns include flights under EarthCARE’s orbit to achieve this goal.
In fact, the first of these has begun already. Last week, a team from @latmos_ipsl flew a test flight from Tolouse to Tarbes in preparation for the upcoming ORCESTRA campaigns that will set boats, planes and balloons across the tropical Atlantic from Cape Verde to Barbados.
We're teaming up with @NASAEarth's PACE satellite calibration and validation campaign, too!
Loads of important science will be done.
Whilst improving the data EarthCARE sends us from above, ORCESTRA will advance understanding of tropical meteorology and atmospheric processes.

So far we have seen the results from 3 out of 4 #EarthCARE instruments:
🛰️ Broadband radiometer
🛰️ Cloud profiling radar
🛰️ Multispectral Imager
We are eagerly awaiting to see the first results from the LIDAR instrument😍 https://t.co/OTaDpDbLFS

Can you believe it's been two month already?
During its short time in space, EarthCARE already delivered so much - and we are so proud!

It was wonderful to see so many people asking interesting questions about @ESA_EO's missions and careers at @esa!

EarthCARE adds value to other missions! 🫶💸
In addition to its novel data, EarthCARE will continue the invaluable #climate records generated by satellites that have finished their missions, extending them in anticipation of future spaceborne instruments.
As an example, whilst EarthCARE has been in development, scientists from @KNMI have been applying its lidar algorithms to @esa_aeolus and CALIPSO data to improve existing data products and prepare for future observations.
Data from EarthCARE are foreseen to extend the record of missions such as #Aeolus, CALIPSO, CloudSat, GPM, CERES and GERB, and prepare the path for missions such as Aeolus-2, AOS and Libera that are due to launch in the coming decade.
