About climate change
ERS and Envisat watch out for symptoms of climate change in ice cover, sea level and sea-surface temperatures. Archives going back to 1977, from the Meteosat weather satellites developed by ESA, can play a part, in revealing changes in cloud cover and other atmospheric features. The SOHO spacecraft records variations in the Sun’s brightness. Manmade greenhouse gases arouse international concern as a cause of global warming, yet effects predicted by computer models still differ widely. With a view to narrowing the differences, ESA’s ADM-Aeolus satellite will measure winds at all levels and over all regions, for the very first time.
