Description

Over the last thirty years a host of environmental satellites have maintained a constant watch on our planet. The Climate Change Initiative (CCI) is the flagship European Space Agency programme that realizes the potential of these missions, developing the long-term, high-quality global data needed to underpin climate monitoring and adaptation services.

The CCI open data portal went live in Autumn 2016 at http://cci.esa.int/. It is a single point of access for the key datasets from all the expert CCI project teams, covering: Aerosol, Cloud, Fire, Greenhouse gases, Glaciers, Ice sheets, Land cover, Ocean colour, Ozone, Sea ice, Sea level, Sea surface temperature, and Soil moisture. All data is available for free under an open license.
