As we approach the launch of ESA\u2019s EarthCARE mission, we caught up with some of the scientists, engineers and experts behind the mission.<\/p>\n
With the climate crisis increasingly tightening its grip, ESA\u2019s Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer mission (EarthCARE) will shed new light on the complex interactions between clouds, aerosols and radiation in Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n
EarthCARE is the largest and most complex Earth Explorer mission. It comes at a critical time in the development of kilometre-scale resolution, global climate models and will provide an important contribution to an improved understanding of cloud convection and its role in Earth\u2019s radiation budget.<\/p>\n
EarthCARE is an ESA mission, but it has been developed as a cooperation between ESA and JAXA, the Japanese Space Agency.<\/p>\n
