WIVERN, short for wind velocity radar nephoscope, will provide the first measurements of wind within clouds together with information on the internal structure of clouds, filling a significant gap in the global satellite observing system as a result. It will also deliver profiles of cloud water droplets, rain, snow and ice water.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/08/spacewatchgl-summer-listening-series-week-two-climate-space-and-earth/ Sun, 13 Aug 2023 19:00:54 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=50514 Summer is upon us, and as our gaze shifts towards the stars during those warm, clear nights, SpaceWatch.Global brings you its second collection or the Summer Listening Series. Based on the vote by our newsroom, we have mapped out an interstellar journey across five categories.
