New mission to track changes in the cryosphere
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 фев 2024
- Tracking ice lost from the world’s glaciers, ice sheets and frozen land shows that Earth is losing ice at an accelerating rate. Monitoring the cryosphere is crucial for assessing, predicting and adapting to climate change.
The Copernicus Polar Ice and Snow Topography Altimeter (CRISTAL) mission will provide a full picture of the changes taking place in some of the most inhospitable regions of the world. It will carry - for the first time - a dual-frequency radar altimeter, and microwave radiometer, that will measure and monitor sea-ice thickness, overlying snow depth and ice-sheet elevations.
These data will support maritime operations in the polar oceans and contribute to a better understanding of climate processes. CRISTAL will also support applications related to coastal and inland waters, as well as providing observations of ocean topography.
CRISTAL 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 Kristof Gantois, CRISTAL Project Manager and Paolo Cipollini, CRISTAL Mission Scientist.

I wish lots of scientific projects were explained this way. Thank you so much. People has to be aware of what scientists are doing but also be aware by easy explanations what is really happening.
We need this!! Thank you ESA ❤
👻
Many thanks to all the people and institutions who contributed to make this happen
Safe flight and thank you to all involved with this.
Good approach, these measurements/observations are very important, with this data you can get a future trajectory or in other words we know what's to come, once observations have enough exposure and records what's to come can be calculated
Congrulations ESA.Nice job🖒
Gracias amigos! 🤟🏿
Good measure ESA.
Track the change and take measures to change the Earth.
congras. thank you 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏ESA🌍🌎🌏
Merci beaucoup je vous suis a plus .
Good job ESA 💙🖌
Thank you.
Thank you video brilliant compliment explanation exhaustive project very illuminated.
❤ Earth ❤ ESA ❤ EU
As this is polar mission, will you have any sort of suite of plasma probes on board with it measuring changes in electrical currents and plasma densities etc? As it is at the poles, where the earth's electrical currents from the sun come in, with the return current in the circuit also exiting the planet.
Merci "esaNewMissionInTheCryosphere-..."...

ESA is a saviors of mother earth ❤😊

So many questions? Just in the north hemisfere? I bet the south is better conservated!
We may have to go and harvest polar ice, take to hot desert landscapes to green the planet, before the ice melts into the ocean.

The poles will be habitable in this century! An exercite of people should be alocated to store 🌱 🌱 seeds, genomes etc... And collect methane emissions with technology-based solution, if burned methane is less hamerfull! Scientists also found ways to produce methane metanol with bacteria that may be target of bacteriophages so they stop fermetation process on ice!
This is a Mission Control I'm Sarthaj
mars rockets are fumes/heat earth gets rid of - to surrect planets is how to live in a universe
(earth is constantly fed by solar wind )
