Tracking methane emissions: an end-to-end framework using EO data and AI foundation models

Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases driving climate change, responsible for nearly 30% of global warming since pre-industrial times. Rapid identification and mitigation of methane emissions is therefore a critical component of global climate strategies. However, detecting methane emission sources at global scale remains challenging due to the large volume of satellite …

VERTICAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF STRATOSPHERIC AND TROPOSPHERIC OZONE FROM COMBINED TROPOMI/CRIS MEASUREMENTS (VESTO)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF BREMEN (DE)

It is widely known that ozone is one of the most important gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. In the upper part of the atmosphere, which is known as the stratosphere, ozone absorbs the harmful ultraviolet radiation. Thereby it protects humans and heats the stratosphere controlling the thermal balance and dynamics. In the lower atmosphere, known …

Atmosphere Virtual Lab

The Atmosphere Virtual Lab (AVL) is a cloud platform that consists of jupyterlab workspaces, a publicly accessible zarr datacube containing atmospheric satellite data, and a map client to view this data. AVL also captures a set of freely available Open Source tools the are made available as the Atmospheric Toolbox.

Clearing the air: improving satellite measurements of tropospheric ozone

Ozone in the lower atmosphere can reach harmful levels, especially during summer pollution events. Prolonged exposure irritates the respiratory system and worsens lung diseases. Beyond health, it reduces agricultural productivity and harms ecosystems. Importantly, it is also the third most significant human-driven greenhouse gas, trapping heat and intensifying climate change. Tracking its global distribution over …

Building a long-term view of the mesosphere

Understanding how Earth’s upper atmosphere is changing is essential for reliable climate assessment. Yet for decades, scientists have lacked a consistent, long-term record of ozone and temperature in the mesosphere, the atmospheric region between roughly 50 and 100 km altitude. This layer plays a key role in atmospheric chemistry, solar interaction, and vertical coupling with …

Closing a critical climate knowledge gap: how EC and ESA are tackling aerosol-cloud uncertainty

An EC-ESA coordinated effort is bringing together satellites, models and scientific expertise to resolve one of the largest remaining uncertainties in climate prediction: how aerosols interact with clouds. Europe’s ability to forecast near-term climate trends over the next 10-30 years – a key timeframe central to policy and investment decisions – depends on resolving this …
