The EarthCARE detectives hit 100 in awe-inspiring global investigation

This was a significant moment in the quest to calibrate and validate data from the satellite’s four trailblazing instruments, which work in synergy to shed light on a major mystery – how clouds and aerosols affect Earth’s climate. The EarthCARE Data, Innovation and Science Cluster produces the algorithms and science products that make EarthCARE data […]
