Satellites observing the Earth from space provide a clear picture of the health of our planet and the signs of climate change. This electronic book lets you take a closer look at the climate data being produced by the European Space Agency's Climate Change Initiative. Forty years of climate data are at your fingertips on interactive globes and maps. Use the data viewer to see how climate variables including ocean temperature, ice sheets, sea level, sea ice, carbon dioxide and soil moisture change through time. Play, pause, and step through the data; spin the world and zoom in; switch between globe and map views; compare one data set with another. Engaging and richly-illustrated text explains why measuring these parts of the Earth system is important for climate science, and describes what the climate data shows. Project scientists from across Europe explain their work in their own words in short video interviews.

This app is to enable our users (e.g. customers who bought any product produced with renewable energy) to have an amazing augmented reality virtual asset visit. With a humanized wind turbine placed anywhere they want, users can easily understand and experience where the renewable energy comes from and check the related data at the same time. The app is designed to give an immersive AR experience of Wind turbines on iOS devices (iPhone and iPad). The 3D modeled wind turbine is experienced in an interactive way on any smooth tabletop surface. The wind turbine appears on the screen as soon as an AR plane is detected. Further, The interactive UI buttons offer a whole lot of possibilities to interact and gain information from the "Humanized" Wind turbine. What can you expect from the app exactly? After the app is opened, you have the choice to enter the password and start the journey with humanized wind turbine right away. When the "start" button is clicked, you can then place the camera on any surface you like. You will be able to see the humanized wind turbine through the app and choose to learn more about the green energy data or related knowledge if you are interested.
