Taking the Pulse of Planet Earth

16 May 2019

Planetary Visions is in Milan this week, helping the European Space Agency "take the pulse of the planet from space". Our climate data Visualisation Tool is once again the centrepiece of ESA's Climate Office stand and we are reporting the results of this four-year science communication project in a session on Open Science. We also have new animations showing the water cycle, a dramatic portrayal of hurricane-force wind speed measurement, and a visual explanation of how ocean currents would be measured with Doppler radar by the proposed SKIM satellite.
