In a groundbreaking development for climate science, an international team of scientists has harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to create 3D profiles of clouds from satellite data. This innovative approach promises to provide new insights into cloud structures and their role in climate systems—something eagerly anticipated by researchers awaiting data from the EarthCARE mission.

Halong Bay, located in northeast Vietnam, is a remarkable landscape featured in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite image. The image captures the bay's striking rocky formations rising from the clear blue waters, offering a breathtaking view of one of the most iconic natural wonders in Southeast Asia.

Since January 2025, Ecuador has been experiencing relentless heavy rainfall, affecting 23 out of 24 provinces. The extreme weather has triggered flooding, landslides, and infrastructure destruction, putting thousands of lives at risk. With nearly 20,000 people impacted, the Ecuadorian government has declared a state of emergency in eight coastal provinces to accelerate relief efforts and emergency response.

Mount Teide, the majestic volcano that dominates the landscape of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, was recently transformed into a breathtaking winter scene. A satellite image captured on March 5, 2025, by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, reveals the volcano’s peak covered in fresh snow—a rare and stunning sight in this usually warm region. The snowfall was the result of a storm system, officially classified as an upper-level isolated depression (DANA), which brought heavy rain and sub-zero temperatures to the archipelago. The first flakes began falling on March 2, 2025, following a weekend of intense weather conditions.
