The MIDAS project studied the use of scatterometer wind data within mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models.
ADD-CROSS assesses the impact of cross-channel assimilation on air quality and numerical weather prediction (NWP).
AboutThe purpose of this study is to help estimate the individual impacts of current Aeolus observations and future EPS-Aeolus-like observations on NWP.
This study aimed to enhance the EUMETSAT vicarious calibration system across a selection of bright desert pseudo-invariant calibration sites.
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.
The bright offshore bloom is most likely caused by coccolithophores, microscopic single-celled plant-like organisms that live in large numbers throughout the upper layers of the ocean.

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.
Storm Kathleen was a deep area of low pressure that moved towards the UK and Ireland from the southwest, bringing unseasonably strong winds and causing travel and power disruption.
