Canadian scientists will contribute to assessing and addressing climate change thanks to a new satellite mission that has received more than $200 million from the Canadian federal government. This is Canada’s contribution to a major multi-satellite mission led by NASA, the (AOS) mission, and will improve extreme weather prediction, climate modelling, and the monitoring of disasters.
