🛰️ MODIS Terra scheduled to exit the 'Morning Constellation' of Earth Science satellites by October 2022.

07-10-2022
By the Fall of 2022, Terra’s crossing time will exceed 10:15 am. Then, Terra, will be lowered to a new orbit where it will be able to collect valuable data at an even earlier crossing time. As Terra’s crossing time creeps earlier, small changes will be noticeable in Terra’s data and imagery. Evidence in imagery of the earlier crossing time will be visible as longer shadows, especially in mountain landscapes. Meanwhile as Terra moves closer to Earth, the sensors’ views will become narrower leading to slightly narrower swath widths. The effect will be most noticeable in ASTER imagery, but each of Terra’s sensors will be affected. However, the impact on science is expected to be minimal. In fact, some impacts could prove beneficial to some areas of research – like land morphology, surface temperature, and climate research.

In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform, the renewal of the Mass concentration of Total phytoplankton (mmol/m3) in seawater is added. The CO2 plays a fundamental role for organic matter production on the ocean, as it is a substrate in algal photosynthesis. Marine autotrophic communities (seagrasses, macroalgae, diatoms, coccolithophores, and cyanobacteria) exhibit higher rates of production under CO2 enrichment.

In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform ,the renewal of the Mass concentration of Phosphate (mmol/m3) in seawater is added. Phosphorous, in the form of phosphate, is naturally abundant in the environment, but high concentrations in water are usually an indicator of pollution. The main sources of phosphorus pollution are agriculture nutrient sources. Phosphorus, which binds to the soil, is generally lost through soil erosion from agricultural lands, but can also originate from chemical fertilizer run-off, manure from cattle farms, and aquaculture operations. Other sources of phosphorus contamination in seawater include fossil fuel combustion and wastewater.

26-09-2022
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform, the renewal of the Surface partial pressure of Carbon Dioxide (Pa) in seawater is added. The world’s oceans readily exchange carbon dioxide (CO2) with the atmosphere. The CO2 dissolves in water to an extent determined by its partial pressure and the chemical reactions of the dissolved carbon dioxide with other solutes. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) is the gas phase pressure (i.e. in the air above a waterway) of carbon dioxide which would be in equilibrium with the dissolved carbon dioxide. Phytoplankton species have different sensitivities to the amount of available CO2 and this might influence the succession and distribution of bloom-forming species

In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform ,the renewal of the Mass concentration of Silicate (mmol/m3) in seawater is added. Silicate is a major nutrient for siliceous primary producers, which can become a potentially limiting nutrient in oligotrophic areas. Most of the silicon inputs to the marine environment come from continental discharges, from both superficial and ground waters. Silicate plays a crucial role in algal growth and species composition. Silicate is used as a quality indicator.

In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the Mass concentration of PH in seawater is added. The pH of seawater is >7 (pH~8.1 at the surface) and is slightly alkaline due to dissolved basic minerals and the natural buffering from carbonates and bicarbonates in the water. The observed decrease in ocean pH resulting from increasing concentrations of CO2 is an important indicator of climate change.

In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the Mass concentration of the dissolved molecular oxygen in seawater is added. The oceans contain dissolved oxygen (O2).O2 is required for respiration in marine life. Areas where dissolved oxygen levels are too low to support most life are referred to as hypoxic zones. Some parts of the oceans may experience seasonal or temporary periods of hypoxia, while in other areas these conditions may last much longer. These hypoxic conditions often lead to mass die-offs of marine organisms who struggle to survive without sufficient oxygen. ARATOS.SPACE

Satellite data predicts lower wheat crop yield

13-09-2022
The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission is one such satellite, a member of ESA’s family of research missions - the Earth Explorers - which are focused on investigating the impact anthropogenic activities have on Earth’s systems. Estimates for accumulated damages on the region’s wheat harvest are above nine million euro, due to the adversely dry spring. The results from the drought monitor are valuable for multiple sectors, facilitating the anticipation of adaption measures. As summer heatwaves intensified in Spain, extremely dry soil moisture conditions emerged in the western part of the Ebro basin. The drought monitor captured this drought, highlighting water reservoirs at risk.
