Our #EODataViz 🛰️ series has come to an end, but you can still watch the recordings to learn more about visualising #Copernicus and EUMETSAT #OpenData, on topics such as:

🔥 Wildfires
🌦️ Weather
🌀 Climate extremes
🌊 Oceans & sea ice

And much more!

Weather forecasts help farmers better plan their day-to-day work 🚜 But what if they could have predictions in the long term?

@CopernicusECMWF developed a prototype service with predictions of drought conditions for wheat crops up until 2025

We can only act on what we know.

#EO has been helping the global community track the changes impacting the planet's climate for decades, transforming space data into #ClimateActionNow 🌍

Here are some examples of what satellites have seen from space: https://t.co/s3hP2kNB37

#DYK that the #GulfStream is a powerful current〰️ that transports warm water from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic #Ocean❓

The #CopernicusMarine Service monitors it, as it is vital for understanding the Earth's heat balance 🌡️

DYK that EU bases the planning of offshore wind farm installations on the use of satellite data provided by Heritage Missions?
A long-term study of #Envisat data focused on wind currents, allows the efficiency of the installations to increase

As reported by @CA_DWR, Lake Oroville in California has reached full capacity, thanks to winter storms and snowmelt.

This animation was made with @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2 images and compares the lake's water levels in September 2021 vs June 2023.

#Rainforests play a major role in carbon sequestration & climate change mitigation

They also contribute to cloud formation, precipitation, and hydrological cycles while preventing erosion
