A radar developed by Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology and partners has made the world’s first measurement of vertical cloud motion from space.

With rising temperatures and decreasing sea ice, the Arctic shipping season is steadily being extended, though conditions continue to be challenging. A research collaboration across the European Nordic countries develops a sea ice modelling tool that helps the shipping industry estimate risks. The tool also calculates the climate indicator for sea ice to predict future... View Article
