Sentinel Image of the week: Tropical Cyclone Ewiniar Tropical Cyclone Ewiniar brought high winds, heavy rainfall and flooding to Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines, which caused casualties, power outages and property damage. News 23 May 2024 Agreement facilitates Africa’s access to European weather satellite data EUMETSAT and AUC signed an agreement to further strengthen cooperation on Earth observation. Features Satellites over Africa save lives Two upcoming satellite programmes – MTG and EPS-SG – will be game changers for Africa. Sentinel Image of the week: Cyclone Ialy Watching our Earth from space. Science Assimilation of satellite sounder profiles in NWP The motivation for the study was to maximise the amount of information conveyed to the model, particularly regarding water-vapour, and to minimise the computational load during the assimilation pro Meteosat Image of the week: Saharan dust from space Desert dust particles are lifted into the atmosphere by gusts of surface wind and can be transported and deposited thousands of kilometres away. Science Upgrading Aeolus aerosol observational capabilities towards improving air quality and NWP models ADD-CROSS assesses the impact of cross-channel assimilation on air quality and numerical weather prediction (NWP). Sentinel Image of the week: intriguing cloud patterns near the Cape Verde islands The cloud patterns are known as von Kármán vortices and are formed over the ocean when islands disrupt the wind flow. The strength of the wind affects the patterns of the swirls. Satellites Image of the week: phytoplankton bloom from space The bloom is most likely caused by coccolithophores (cyan colour) and other phytoplankton species. Phytoplankton play a key role in marine ecosystems as the basis of the food chain. Features Behind the data: rescuing rock lobsters from a red tide Satellite data were used to monitor a red tide event in South Africa in early 2022.
