The ENFORCE project focuses on the investigation and mitigation of an artifact in tropospheric ozone column (TrOC) data obtained by applying the limb-nadir matching (LNM) technique to a combination of limb-scatter and UV nadir-viewing instruments. This artifact is observed as a band of abnormally high values of TrOC over the northern tropical Pacific and Atlantic …
The METEOR (MEsospheric TEmperature and Ozone climate data Record) project is dedicated to producing a high-quality, long-term time series of mesospheric ozone and temperature. This will be achieved by merging data from multiple satellite instruments into climate data records. Additional objective of the project is to assess trends in mesospheric temperature and ozone, with a …
The 6th Training in Atmospheric Composition Monitoring and Modelling will be held in Oslo, Norway, from 16 to 20 September 2024 at the Climate and Research Institute NILU. Organized by the ECMWF with CAMS, ESA, and EUMETSAT, this in-person course offers a comprehensive introduction to the end-to-end processes of atmospheric composition monitoring. Topics include emissions …
The European Space Agency (ESA) is organising an Earth Observation (EO) training course in collaboration with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System, SIOS. The course will take place from 9-14 September 2024 at the Svalbard Science Centre in Svalbard, Norway. The training is designed to promote and …
Tobias is currently an ESA Living Planet Fellow at the Institute for Earth System Science and Remote Sensing at Leipzig University (Germany). In his research, he employs and further develops methods from complexity science to understand past and present Earth system dynamics with a focus on climate extremes. He graduated with a Master’s degree in …
Laia is a mathematician that works at the Finnish Meteorological Institute since 2021. She studied mathematics at the University of Barcelona and completed her PhD (2016) in number theory in a joint collaboration between the University of Barcelona and the University of Luxembourg. In 2018, she moved to Finland, where she worked as a postdoctoral …
As the global water cycle intensifies, the Earth’s surface will experience more extreme weather and climate events. Increasingly intense and frequent hydrological extremes, such as heavy precipitation events (HPEs), will result in unprecedented alteration of terrestrial ecosystem processes. Prior research has succeeded to track and catalogue several weather phenomena that act as drivers of hydrological …
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has experienced an alarming increase since the Industrial Revolution due to anthropogenic factors like fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. Before the Industrial Revolution, atmospheric CO₂ levels were relatively stable, around 280 parts per million (ppm). By the 21st century, human activities have increased CO₂ concentrations beyond 400 ppm, reaching levels not seen …
Methane emissions from fossil fuel production are a major component of the anthropogenic methane emission budget. Emissions from this sector often occur as strong plumes from so-called point sources, which include infrastructure elements such as flares, compressor stations, storage tanks, or mine vents. Satellite remote sensing represents a key technology for systematic monitoring of methane …
