Today we had a rendez-vous of @TaraOceans_Sci at @ptfacqualta as part of @EMBLtrec#TaraEuropa’s leg in the Adriatic Sea. We performed on board some of the sampling protocols carried out during the two years of the voyage around Europe’s coastline.
Scientists are doing so by observing ocean colour changes using data from @CopernicusEU#Sentinels 2 and 3, for example.
The team also created a 'data cube' containing phytoplankton-related products generated from @esaclimate Change Initiative datasets:

Tiny but incredibly powerful!
Phytoplankton are tiny marine plants that pump organic carbon from the surface waters to the deep ocean.
But how can we monitor this process?
🧵Let's take a look:

A roadmap on how satellites could help monitor the ocean carbon cycle, as an output from the Ocean Carbon from Space workshop held last year. Thanks to @rjbrewin!
The 3-day Workshop is wrapped up. Thank you #eumetsat, the community and experts for participating. We have gained valuable feedback and have a mission to provide clear guidelines and tools for the ocean colour community to ensure the FRM quality of measurement results.
New paper just published with @FedericaBraga_@javierconchas@MariBre75 on the evaluation of @SatellitePrisma water reflectance over two optically complex inland and coastal sites. Free to download from @isprs Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (P&RS)

The registration for the Living Planet Symposium 2022 is now open!
👩🎓Students can take advantage of a special fee and can register at this link: https://t.co/2Shjnn40zG
🔖We've also published a draft of the scientific programme (keep an eye out for the final version soon!)
A lot of footage is being posted online of Russian military movements along the Ukrainian border. We’re working with the #OSINT community to document, verify & map this information. You can find our map of verified movements here: https://t.co/2uqsSML5Qe
Another milestone complete! ✅
Today's orbital insertion burn today was a success! #Webb has now arrived to its final orbit around the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point ("L2") around 1.5 million kilometres away (animation 👇). Details: https://t.co/DlriNEVjcM 📷: @NASAGoddard
