Deriving an aerosol climate data record from Meteosat First Generation observations

Here we describe the principles adopted within FIDUCEO for harmonising satellite data series to obtain long-term climate data records.

What are the problems of orbital drift and diurnal cycle aliasing?

by David Moore and Tim Trent Since the late 17th century, instruments have been developed to automatically record metrological data. As technology has advanced the methods used have also become…Read More >

How do we align the mathematical results with real measurement data?

How do we begin to reduce uncertainties in satellite data that are generated with incorrect pre-launch characterisations?

What can the users expect when they obtain a Fundamental Climate Data Record? How should they use it and for what applications?

Who are those users of climate-relevant Earth observations from space — and what do they need? Some interesting results from the FIDUCEO user requirements survey.

Using sea surface temperature as an example, this blog explores the importance of assessing all sources of error in climate data.
