Subject: [Cometupdates] New from COMET: Monitoring the Climate System
with Satellites
To: announce at comet.ucar.edu


Greetings,

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of
"Monitoring the Climate System with Satellites." This 2-hour module,
jointly funded by NOAA/NESDIS and EUMETSAT, describes the unique role
that environmental satellites play in monitoring the Essential Climate
Variables (ECVs) that are key for measuring the climate system.
Satellites are uniquely positioned to provide broad, spatially
consistent, and continuous global sampling of many ECVs.

The module begins by reviewing how satellites observe key atmospheric
elements and features that are found in a variety of climate cycles.
>From there, it explores events at the different scales (from seasonal
to long-term) and the contributions that satellites make to improving
our understanding, monitoring, and prediction of them. Finally, it
discusses the challenges involved in monitoring climate with
satellites.

Please follow this link to start the module:
