Monitoring forests will be critical to effective climate mitigation. Biomass is the first satellite equipped with a P-band synthetic aperture radar, which is capable of penetrating forest canopies to measure woody biomass – trunks, branches, and stems – where most forest carbon is stored. These measurements act as a proxy for carbon storage, the assessment of which is the mission’s primary goal. ESAEarth's forests play a critical role in keeping our planet habitable.
