EarhCARE inst=uments animation
EarthCARE’S multispectral imager instrument will provide an overview in multiple wavelengths to set the scene. The cloud profiling radar will detect vertical motion within clouds – providing details on their internal dynamics. Its atmospheric lidar will detect the top of clouds and provide profiles of the atmosphere with information on aerosols’ while its broadband radiometer will measure reflected sunlight and heat radiated from Earth.
The data generated by EarthCARE's instruments contribute significantly to advancing our understanding of the interactions between clouds, aerosols and radiation in Earth’s atmosphere.
