Earth observation data to assist in responses to risk and water management
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.

European State of the Climate 2023 details unwelcome records for heatwaves and extreme weather events
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.

Today is the last chance to see the Arctic Weather Satellite in Europe before it is launched.
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.
