Understanding the impact of climate change in the Arctic using satellite data, with Paolo Ruti

Season 1, Episode 10,   Aug 10, 2021, 07:53 AM

From early exploration missions to modern-day experiments, find out why we monitor the Arctic and how satellites, such as the Copernicus Sentinel fleet, are crucial for being able to observe what is happening right now and understand what will happen in the future.

How does a warming Arctic affect the rest of the planet? How do satellite observations help scientists better understand the changing environment?

Mark Higgins chats to regular guest Hayley Evers-King and EUMETSAT’s Chief Scientist, Paolo Ruti, about the shared global challenges of EUMETSAT, Copernicus and international partners in understanding how what we see from space can affect the Earth’s climate, and why our next-generation missions will result in more data and increasingly accurate predictions for the benefit of citizens worldwide.
