It all comes down to what’s being measured.
Satellites like Copernicus Sentinel-3 measure land surface temperature — that’s the heat coming directly from the ground, not the air above it. And yes, it’s often hotter in the summer than what your app tells you.

The summer fire season is well under way in Europe – countries all around the Mediterranean are experiencing record temperatures coupled with huge wildfires that have led to mass evacuations. In this enthralling new ESA documentary, explore how people on the frontline are using space to better monitor and fight the flames.
Follow the incredible stories of the firefighters who dealt with unprecedented fires in Gironde, France, and the forest officers using satellite data to plan for the forests’ recovery. Journey into the heart of Earth’s elemental might and discover how space is changing the game for monitoring volcanic eruptions too – including one of the world’s most studied volcano, Mount Etna.
FIRE is the first episode of ESA’s new series centred around the elements and showcases how Earth observation has become crucial to those fighting climate change on the ground.
Chapters:
00:00 – 11:23 Fighting wildfires in Gironde
11:23 – 24:13 The fire from volcanoes – walking up Mount Etna
24:13 – 31:45 Regenerating the burnt forests and getting ready for the next fire season in Gironde
31:45 – 33:01 Outro

The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem offers immediate access to a wide range of open and free Earth observation data and services. Following from the success of the current Copernicus Data Hub distribution, the new service ensures continuity and extends the portfolio for data access and data processing possibilities.
The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem represents a significant leap forward in the way users can access and work with Earth observation data. The service aims to further improve access and exploitation of the Copernicus satellites data.
Discover more about the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem and access the data via https://dataspace.copernicus.eu.

Satellites play a vital role in monitoring the rapid changes taking place in the Arctic. Tracking ice lost from the world’s glaciers, ice sheets and frozen land shows that Earth is losing ice at an accelerating rate. Currently more than a trillion tonnes of ice is lost each year. The sooner Earth’s temperature is stabilised, the more manageable the impacts of ice loss will be.

SMOS has been in orbit for a decade. This remarkable satellite has not only exceeded its planned life in orbit, but also surpassed its original scientific goals. It was designed to deliver data on soil moisture and ocean salinity which are both crucial components of Earth’s water cycle. By consistently mapping these variables, SMOS is not only advancing our understanding of the water cycle and the exchange processes between Earth’s surface and the atmosphere, but is also helping to improve weather forecasts and contributing to climate research as well as contributing to a growing number practical everyday applications.
