Think you know #clouds ? Think again! #EarthCARE will demystify these big and misty, often thin and wispy, and occasionally thunderous behemoths. We’ll also shine a light on aerosols like pollution and dust, and how they and clouds regulate Earth's #climate . Follow us for more!

Ok so we can't measure noctilucent clouds from space with EarthCARE (they're too high up) but here's an NLC appreciation post anyway 😍🤩

Why should we be excited about #EarthCARE ? Aerosols are even more mysterious than clouds! Essentially, all cloud water droplets and ice crystals start with an aerosol particle. That could be a speck of wind-swept Saharan dust 🏜️ tiny soot particles from industrial pollution 🏭

#Clouds are mysterious ☁️🥷 Given they’re so big, fluffy and ubiquitous you'd be forgiven for thinking we might already know all there is to know about clouds. In fact, there's a lot we don’t know... One of many reasons to be excited about #EarthCARE 👉

What's great about #EarthCARE 's BBR is (1) the amazing 650-m resolution in nadir view (compare to 10-20 km for CERES) and (2) the extra perspective from the three views. Look at the different directions of the shadows (in blue) cast by clouds at top & bottom of this image! (2/3)

Many of the #EarthCARE team, including myself, have been preparing for the launch of this satellite for over 20 years, so it is unbelievably exciting when the data finally start to arrive -- BBC article by @BBCAmos

Look at this⬇️ #EarthCARE broadband radiometer has delivered its initial data. The instrument measures radiative fluxes at the top of 🌎atmosphere. Global temperatures are rising, so understanding and monitoring the radiation balance is crucial.

Got exciting plans this weekend? Nothing beats a lazy afternoon watching the #clouds go by... ...or sitting back with @ESA_EO to discover just why they're so mysterious... ...and how EarthCARE will reveal the secrets of these ubiquitous, fluffy giants! 📺

We will use all four @esa_earthcare instruments to evaluate and improve how cloud and aerosol processes are represented in our weather forecast model. The broadband radiometer (BBR) measures how much clouds and aerosols reflect sunlight and emit infrared energy.

#DidYouKnow Although #clouds play an extremely important role in atmospheric heating and cooling, they remain one of the biggest mysteries – in fact the least understood factor – in our understanding of how the atmosphere drives the climate system. That's why we're here! 🛰️🔎☁️

Hello broadband radiometer! This 🗺️ shows brightness in the forward view along our orbital path... how much ☀️ is reflected back to space! White bright #clouds reflect lots of ☀️ (red). The sea reflects little ☀️ back to the 🛰️ and appears dark (blue)
