Watching our Earth: EUMETSAT Podcasts

Satellite observations have shown that the impact of COVID-19 is visible from space, as air quality has improved around the world due to restrictions on work and travel, resulting in reduced emissions. In our first fully-remote podcast, find out how services like the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) are continuing to deliver data to users during this time and what the changes in the atmosphere mean in our latest Day to Day episode featuring host, Mark Higgins and guests Federico

Our latest Day to Day podcast discusses those lovely swirls you see on the ocean surface – but what are they exactly? Episode three will answer this question and more as we return to the seas to discuss “Eddies: the swirling engine of our oceans” with host Mark Higgins and guests, Hayley Evers-King (Marine Applications Expert at EUMETSAT) and Aida Alvera Azcarate (Ocean Remote Sensing Researcher at the University of Liège).

Episode number two looks at an eventful year of fire activity across the planet and how satellites, such as the Copernicus Sentinel satellites, can monitor and deliver data on the environments affected by fires. Host, Dr Mark Higgins discusses with Federico Fierli (Atmospheric Composition Expert at EUMETSAT) and Mark Parrington (Senior Scientist at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts).

The first Day-to-Day podcast explores the topic of ocean observation from space. Host, Dr Mark Higgins (Training Manager at EUMETSAT) talks to Dr Hayley Evers-King (Marine Application Expert) about her most recent ocean case studies and Pierre-Yves Cousteau (Marine Conservationist and Diver) about his exciting new citizen science project, getting divers to record ocean temperature during their dives.
