Whether it’s reducing emissions, optimizing resources, or generally improving liveability, smart cities are giving everything from road networks to power grids a digital ‘up do’. But as climate risks intensify, the issue most in need of enhanced resilience is society’s continued reliable access to water. Recent data from CDP reveals that ...
NetCDF, or Network Common Data Form, is a binary file format developed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in 1988. NetCDF stands for Network Common Data Form and is a binary file format for storing scientific data, commonly used in meteorology, climatology, and Geographic Information System (GIS) applications. It was developed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric ...
European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis 0. Prologue Welcome to our new blog series focusing on ERA6 reanalysis data. In our first post, we’ll explore the evolution of ECMWF reanalysis, discussing its development motivations and transition to the ERA6 ...
What is a reanalysis? Reanalysis integrates model data with observations worldwide to create a globally comprehensive and consistent dataset through the application of physical laws. This process, known as data assimilation, mirrors the methodology employed by numerical weather prediction centers. At regular intervals (e.g., every 12 hours at ECMWF), a previous forecast is merged with newly ...
In summer and during heat events, the urban heat island can have a negative impact on human health, leading to adaptation measures for a changing climate being particularly necessary for cities in the context of climate change. ...
Air Quality Assessment: Tracking pollutants such as PM2.5, NO, and greenhouse gases. Climate Data Analysis: Observing trends in temperature, rainfall, or sea level changes. ...
BKT/Tomorrow Water CEO Dong-woo Kim, "Presenting a new paradigm for future sewage treatment plants" Co-Flow Campus, transformed into a 'money-making sewage treatment plant' Successfully converging energy, data, and economic value in a sewage treatment plant Building the world's most compact sewage treatment plant for developing countries Need EDCF support to revitalize ...
AIRSENSE’s main objective is to enhance the understanding of aerosol and aerosol-cloud interactions. This activity is part of Atmosphere Science Cluster of ESA’s EO Science for Society programme, an element of the ESA FutureEO programme, which aims at boosting Europe’s excellence in EO science and its ...
The 3DREAMS project presents the concept of a 3D radiative Digital Twin Earth (DTE) and how it can be used to understand the effects of surface heterogeneities on aerosol retrieval from multi-angular observations. A series of realistic scenes will be generated and used by the Eradiate radiative transfer (RT) model for the simulation of satellite observations. The impact of various types of ...
Atmospheric aerosol is one of the main drivers of climate changes. Importance of accurate global aerosol characterization for climate studies and air pollution monitoring is a well recognized problem (e.g., see IPCC AR5 by Boucher et al.2013). In addition to the traditional spectral Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) such characterization should also include such extended aerosol information asaerosol ...
Whether you choose a 100% renewable energy plan, reducing fossil fuel use has the added benefit of combating climate change and air pollution, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future with a healthier planet and you. ...
It is a critical time for water resource management, which is facing a series of major challenges including climate change. This phenomenon is generating longer periods of drought and more intense rainfall. ...

The GLDAS dataset was globally used in water resources and climate studies, particularly in areas where data are temporally and spatially limited. ...
In the face of global warming, understanding the behavior of polar ice sheets has taken on new urgency. The Greenland ice sheet, the second-largest body of ice on the planet after the Antarctic ice sheet, plays a critical role in this context, contributing greatly to rising sea levels. In fact, if the entire Greenland ice sheet were to melt away it could contribute to a global sea level ...
Meteorologists, researchers, and policymakers use data collected from weather sensors to understand weather patterns, predict weather events, and make informed decisions. ...

Weather stations play a crucial role in today’s world by providing essential meteorological data that is used for a wide range of purposes. Including weather forecasting, climate monitoring, agriculture, aviation, disaster management, and environmental research. ...
Soon, water risk may be the largest problem data centers face. While data centers account for only a small portion of global water use, their withdrawals can cause serious problems locally by depleting supplies of fresh water already stressed by other human activities and climate change. Approximately 20% of data centers in the ...
