News Earth-observation satellites collect crucial data

Our climate is in transition – for the worse. Sea levels are rising, storms are becoming more severe, ice is disappearing, and it's all happening faster than predicted. Part of the solution is to make satellite observation data widely available as quickly as possible.

ESA plus European and US scientists are feeding processed atmospheric data collected by European satellites free to the public web.

With these data, scientists help decision-makers take informed decisions – for our future.
