Tell us a bit about the data/resource!

The European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative facilitates projects that generate vital data sets on essential climate variables. These projects offer extensive repositories and publications, enhancing global climate research by providing validated data for scientific studies. Access to these detailed datasets enables accurate climate modeling and analysis, supporting research in climate variability, environmental impacts, and policy formulation. This initiative underscores the importance of integrated Earth observation data in comprehending and addressing climate dynamics on a global scale.

Below are direct links to related and useful projects from the European Space Agency, that can provide publications, data repositories and models:
