SATACI Webinar

In the framework of the ESA CCI webinar series Monitoring climate change from Space”, Marta Luffarelli will present the aims and progress of SATACI.

Discover how the project is advancing our understanding of aerosol effects on liquid clouds, the relationship between mineral dust and cloud glaciation, and the feasibility of developing an observation-based climate indicator for aerosol and cloud radiative forcing.

SATACI Science Requirements Document (SRD) Now Available

We are pleased to announce that the Science Requirements Document (SRD) for the SATACI project is now available.

The SRD outlines the scientific rationale, technical goals, and observational requirements for deriving new or improved constraints on aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI). It consolidates inputs from the scientific community (including AEROSAT and AeroCom), synthesizes recent literature, and identifies critical ECV datasets that support these goals.
