What does a warming Arctic mean for the future?

The Arctic is experiencing disproportionately higher temperature increases compared to the rest of the planet, triggering a series of cascading effects. This rapid warming has profound implications for global climate patterns, human populations and wildlife.
The Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer mission (CIMR) will provide measurements to decision makers with evidence of change and impact in the polar regions - with a focus on the Arctic.
The mission has the largest radiometer developed by ESA and will provide high-resolution measurements related to sea ice, the ocean, snow and ice-sheet surfaces. This will be crucial in understanding the evolution of the climate in the polar region.
CIMR is one of six Copernicus Sentinel Expansion missions that ESA is developing on behalf of the EU. The missions will expand the current capabilities of the Copernicus Space Component - the world’s biggest supplier of Earth observation data.
This video features interviews with Craig Donlon, CIMR Mission Scientist, Rolv Midthassel, CIMR Payload Manager, Claudio Galeazzi, CIMR Project Manager, Mariel Triggianese, CIMR Satellite Engineering and AIV Manager, and Marcello Sallusti, CIMR System Performance and Operations Manager.
In the meantime Craig has changed his role but will retain his position as Mission Scientist.

Looking forward! I am working on this satellite :-)

This is a remarkably well made video from ESA, thanks to its excellent protagonists and well scripted content.

Save Our Planet Now!

[@Muddslinger0415]

We are screwed absolutely finished

[@Rkd-_-b]

The artic was green before. Every so often hot parts turn cold and cold parts turn hot. That's the way the world is. Look at history. Also man made dams cause some changes.

[@Muddslinger0415]

@@Rkd-_-b yeah over millions of years not just a couple centuries

Happy to be part of the Industry team!

Too much melting ice? Big trouble for humanity. Esa 💙🖌

Thank you.

Gracias amigos 🤟🏿

What sort of actuators are used to keep the mesh antenna in the correct shape?

Merci "ESAEuropeanSpaceAgency-..."... Milli ⚜ 🌌

[@SM-ce1uy]

I'd be grateful if corporations could pay an Environmental clean up tax because they are frequently financing businesses that are directly responsible for pollution such as microplastics PFAs or water waste, or the corporations directly. And the tax should high enough to not count as a business expense.

[@ashishkatiyar4240]

Nice

[@ericmaclaurin8525]

If only more data could cool the planet.

[@hamzahkhan8952]

like he said, data is required for governments to take action. that is, unfortunately, how modern governments are like.

Debemos extraer el CO2 de la atmósfera, es el único camino ya

[@peterwilles7227]

I had to look twice at the thumbnail thinking what a weird solarpanel or heat shield😂

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

or the largest radiometer ever developed by ESA! 😉

[@ericmaclaurin8525]

The day the oceans overflowed predicted removing the ice weight from the poles would cause them to rise and the other land masses to sink.

To create a giant wheel, why not redirect an asteroid to where you need it and then sculpt it in space?

[@Northerner-NotADoctor]

Too expansive. Too much fuel needed.

en français s'il vous plaît

[@a.randomjack6661]

Ouais, il y a bien assez de chaînes anglos. Cette vidéo est sortie hier. Elle contient des explications de très bonne qualité "Lire le passé dans des carottes"

[@johnarizona3820]

DON'T PANIC

[@A3Kr0n]

Now that we know the problem and the solution, all this data collection is only adding to the problem which is not being solved. Spending energy and resources for this doesn't help.

[@JamesWhite-yj7sd]

it means another ice age is coming

[@Northerner-NotADoctor]

I love how they speak English :D

[@blomeup2day]

I’m surprised they didn’t explain the technology that is a thermometer. Why is this video so long and trying to sell me something about a satellite doing satellite things? Just present the data and we understand satellites have technology to collect data.
