Science Workshop Objectives

Provide open forum for the science community to present and discuss EarthCARE science topics and results.
Identify and consolidate science questions addressed by EarthCARE's unique observational capabilities and data products.
Promote synergy of EarthCARE with past, present and future satellite missions, for both active and passive remote sensing instruments.
Foster international collaboration in the preparation of the scientific exploitation of EarthCARE.
Identify novel, scientific use cases and applications for EarthCARE within the cloud, precipitation, aerosol and radiation interaction domain and beyond.
Explore EarthCARE’s contribution to support the development and scientific exploitation of ESMs, mesoscale atmospheric models, NWP & cloud models, both for model improvement and key observational data.
Investigate EarthCARE’s potential to support climate process studies and trend assessments.
Encourage a new, diverse generation of remote sensing atmospheric scientists to explore EarthCARE and associated observations in the future.
Provide training opportunities to familiarize the science community with EarthCARE products, tools and databases.
Provide recommendations on the EarthCARE scientific preparation and exploitation.
