🇨🇭 Switzerland has launched a new national drought early warning system!
It combines satellite and model data − including surface temperature data from EUMETSAT’s CM SAF − to assess vegetation stress.
A great example of climate data in action:

Sea ice data on @polarportal.bsky.social is from European @osi-saf.eumetsat.int group, sea ice thickness + Greenland surface mass balance is from @dmidk.bsky.social's operational models + #GRACE satellite data is from our partners @dtucryo.bsky.social as part of @esaclimate.bsky.social ❄️🥼⚒️🧪⛏️🌊
Good morning! Quick reminder that you can see the current state of the #Arctic #SeaIce on @polarportal.bsky.social where you can also see how the # Greenland Ice Sheet mass budget from GRACE and the daily surface mass budget from @dmidk.bsky.social Some big improvements + new data coming soon too

Vintersesongen er over i Arktis og sjøisen vil smelte gjennom våren og sommeren 🧊
Sjøisen sin maksimale utbredelse ble 14,43 millioner km², 1 million km² mindre enn normalt.
– Det er det laveste nivået vi har målt etter vintersesongen, sier klimaforsker Thomas Lavergne.
