these personal possessions, bags, clothes, children's items and shoes laid out here, a symbol of the enormous loss so many families are now having to deal with. scientists here in the uk have taken whale—watching to new heights. they're using satellite cameras to monitor the movements of the mammals, which up until now have proved extremely difficult to track. from 400 miles up, the imagery is sharp enough to capture the distinctive shapes of different species. researchers from the british antarctic survey hope this can improve conservation efforts by more accurately working out whale populations. here's our science correspondentjonathan amos. big, beautiful, but we're a little sketchy on their numbers.

whales are recovering from commercial hunting, although how well is open to question. the problem is their range. whales will cover vast tracts of the globe. what's needed is a rapid way to survey the oceans, to zoom in on their breeding and feeding grounds. the answer is the sharpest views from space ever released. well, this big blue piece of paper here is a satellite image of baja california off the west coast of mexico. and as you look closely, each one of these white specks is actually a whale that we're seeing. it's a whale near the surface. we can use these very high—resolution images to actually count the number of whales in any particular area. but totting up the numbers is one thing. scientists also need to know the type of whale. whales have previously been counted from boats and planes, but these are small—scale surveys. now scientists are using the latest satellite images to cover the whole earth. key is the improved resolution that can see anything larger than 30 centimetres across.

this means features such as fins and tails can be observed, and the animals identified. it should lead to more reliable estimates of the status of these endangered creatures. whales were pushed to the edge of extinction by commercial whaling. some species still number in the low thousands, but they are recovering, and scientists are keen to learn everything they can about their progress. whales are really important indicators of our ecosystem health. and so gathering information like this on such a broad scale from satellite imagery, we can understand something about the ocean's health, and that's really useful for marine conservation. the task of counting whales from space will only get easier as more and more satellites are launched. soon, we'll have a sharp picture of every corner of the globe updated every day. jonathan amos, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. no shortage of weather action in the
