Summary
[edit]DescriptionPatagonia covered in snow (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 23 August 2021, shows part of Patagonia covered in snow. At the end of August, South America was meteorologically divided into two parts. In the north of Argentina, several historical records for air temperatures for August were registered, such as 36.8°C in Ituzaingó, in the Greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area. Meanwhile, a storm hit Patagonia. It brought a heavy snowfall that covered the Andes and part of the province of Santa Cruz in Argentina. One casualty and many traffic disruptions were caused by the snowstorm. Launched in 2016 and 2018, the two Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites are providing critical information on climate change by monitoring our oceans, glaciers, and atmosphere to constantly improve our understanding of large-scale global dynamics. |
