Director of ESA Earth Observation Programmes and Head of ESRIN

The heatwave currently affecting Europe is captured in this mosaic image from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission’s Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer, taken on 29 June. This mosaic reveals land surface temperatures — the actual thermal energy emitted from the Earth’s surface — which are typically higher than air temperatures. It's not only the land that's experiencing intense heat; the sea surface of the Mediterranean is also unusually warm, as shown in the image using data from the Copernicus Marine Service. https://lnkd.in/dxfRhXfD

June 30, 3:30 pm in Barcelona. Car interior T: 66 C 🥵 We need to take urgent action. Copernicus images are definitely a game changer to visualize the Earth’s more pressing issues. Now we need to take action and generate positive change. Extreme weather events are expected to occur more and more often.

Reading this sitting on a plane heading to Croatia for a much-needed break. Feeling grateful we didn't opt for our original idea of a road trip through Spain from Seville: seriously scary figures. More train-based holidays beckon, I think.
