The European Space Agency\u2019s new Climate from Space<\/a> website presents satellite data on a host of different climate indicators, from aerosols to CO2<\/sub>, from land cover to sea ice, via 3D virtual globes. From the announcement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The new, easy-to-use site provides access to the same satellite observations used by scientists to understand climate change and support international organisations such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to drive action.<\/p>\n

There is a suite of 21 climate data records to explore, which are generated by ESA\u2019s Climate Change Initiative. The suite includes sea level, sea surface temperature, soil moisture, snow depth and the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and methane, as well as new visualisations for the latest climate variables records such as permafrost and lakes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
