AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
EarthCARE is a joint ESA-JAXA Earth observation satellite that carries a cloud-profiling radar, an atmospheric lidar, a multispectral imager, and a broadband radiometer to measure how clouds and aerosols interact with incoming and outgoing radiation. By observing these interactions together on the same platform, it helps scientists understand how clouds and airborne particles influence the planet's energy balance.
