ESA CCI and C3S Soil Moisture - New developments and recent applications

2023
ESA CCI Soil Moisture (SM) is a long-term global Climate Data Record of soil water content stored in the surface soil layer, derived from satellite observations in the microwave domain. To make it suitable for long-term analyses of the climate system, ESA CCI SM merges observations from a total of 19 satellite radiometers and scatterometers (active and

ESA CCI and C3S Soil Moisture Products: Generation and Quality Assurance

2021
<p>Soil moisture Climate Data Records (CDRs) produced from active and passive microwave sensors are valuable for the study of the coupled water, energy and carbon cycles over land on a global scale. As part of the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) a multi-decadal CDR is produced by systematically combining Level ...

Visualisation and Analysis of Climate Data in the ESA CCI Toolbox

2018
Climate Change is impacting our lives, tomorrow as well as today. Understanding Climate Change requires data, people, and enabling technologies. The European Space Agency (ESA) is running the Climate Change Initiative (CCI), a 140M€ programme, to provide an adequate, comprehensive, and timely response to the extremely challenging set of requirements ...

Investigating the global representativeness of the ESA CCI RZSM product

Root-Zone Soil Moisture (RZSM) is critical for understanding hydrological processes, predicting droughts, and improving agricultural yield forecasts. As RZSM cannot be directly measured by satellites, a simple Exponential Filter (EF) model is applied to the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Soil Moisture (SM) product to derive a global satellite ...

Temporal analysis of wildfire emissions in the Northwest of Spain using ESA CCI data

2023
The Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula is one of the European regions with the highest frequency of forest fires. However, in the last decade fires in this region have burned larger areas and later in the fire season. Assessing the damage caused by fire and the pollutants released in the burning process is important to understand the effects on ...

ESA CCI and C3S Soil Moisture: latest product updates and climate assessments

2020
<p>As part of the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) a more than 40 year long climate data record (CDR) is produced by systematically combining Level-2 datasets from separate missions. Combining multiple level 2 datasets into a single consistent long-term product combines the advantages of individual ...

The GHG-CCI project of ESA's climate change initiative

2016
The goal of the GHG-CCI project (http://www.esa-ghg-cci.org/) of ESA's Climate Change Initiative (CCI) is to generate global atmospheric satellite-derived carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) data sets as needed to improve our understanding of the regional sources and sinks of these important greenhouse gases (GHG).

Recent advances from the ESA CCI+Sea Surface Salinity project

Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is an increasingly-used Essential Ocean and Climate Variable. The SMOS, Aquarius, and SMAP satellite missions all provide SSS measurements, with very different instrumental features leading to specific measurement characteristics.

Improving Orchidee Simulations of Surface Energy Fluxes Assimilating the ESA-CCI LST Product

IGARSS 2024 - 2024 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium
We assimilate the ESA-CCI Land Surface Temperature (LST) into the ORCHIDEE land surface model to optimize key parameters, improving the simulations of LST and surface energy fluxes. We first conduct a series of synthetic twin data assimilation experiments to find the best strategy for assimilating LST.

ESA CCI SM v9: advancements in global satellite soil moisture records

Soil moisture plays a pivotal role in the Earth system, exerting a profound impact on a wide range of environmental and climatic processes. Consequently, accurate monitoring of soil moisture is essential for climate research, environmental management, and the development of adaptation strategies under changing climate conditions.
