Our latest climate case study looks at how satellite climate data records help scientists understand shifts in polar sea ice extents bit.ly/4vg7G3X by @hayleyeversking.bsky.social @rroebeling.bsky.social @brloveday.bsky.social @gwenbras.bsky.social & Thomas Lavergne @met.no
Decades of satellite data reveal how rising temperatures are hitting the poles. 🛰️🌡️
A new EUMETSAT case study examines what is driving these shifts - and why monitoring from space matters.

DYK the clouds above our oceans play a role in understanding climate? ☁️
Marine stratocumulus clouds, which reflect sunlight & help cool the oceans, are shrinking as sea temperatures rise.
Fewer clouds mean warmer oceans - learn how satellites can help track this critical change: bit.ly/497OPPZ
Trees are nature’s carbon keepers - and satellites help us watch over them. 🌳
By tracking vegetation growth & forest health from space, scientists can see how much carbon dioxide plants are absorbing and where reforestation efforts are working.

Europe just had its hottest year on record. 🌡️
The 2024 European State of the Climate report shows the continent is warming faster than the global average, facing rising threats from extreme weather.
