The CCI Land Evaporation Project begins
Another big step in supporting climate science: the launch of the ESA CCI Land Evaporation project
Evaporation is a vital part of the Earth’s climate system, shaping the water, carbon, and energy cycles. Yet, it cannot be directly observed from satellites and requires innovative strategies to capture it accurately.
To meet this challenge, we’ve joined forces with partners from Technische Universität Wien, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Deltares, Politecnico di Milano, and of course the European Space Agency (ESA). Together, we aim to deliver a long-term global dataset of land evaporation that will become part of ESA’s Climate Change Initiative.
