Sentinel-3 Captures Hot Surfaces Across Europe Amid Heatwave

Europe's recent heatwave has driven surface temperatures to extreme levels. ESA's Sentinel-3 satellite recorded the hot surfaces from orbit. The imagery highlights the spatial extent of the heat across the continent. Data were collected during the peak of the weather event. The observations help scientists assess climate impacts. Researchers can use the images to study urban heat islands. The satellite's sensors provide reliable thermal measurements. The findings underscore the need for climate adaptation strategies.
