EFFECT OF INHOMOGENEITIES IN THE SURFACE REFLECTIVITY ON TROPOSPHERIC OZONE COLUMNS RETRIEVED BY USING THE LIMB-NADIR MATCHING TECHNIQUE (ENFORCE)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF BREMEN (DE)

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 …

MESOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE AND OZONE CLIMATE DATA RECORD (METEOR)

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

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 …

Earth Surface Impacts of Hydrological Extremes along Global Atmospheric River Networks (ARNETLAB)

Prime company: Leipzig University (DE)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Tobia Braun. 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 …

Monitoring Atmospheric Anomalies from Space: A Topological Approach (MAASTA)

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Laia Amoros. 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 …

Methane plumes mapping with multispectral and hyperspectral high-resolution data

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 …

Canada’s wildfire season begins

ESA’s World Fire Atlas, an essential tool in wildfire monitoring, keeps detecting and mapping active fires globally since 2019 thanks to the SLSTR sensor aboard Sentinel-3. The tool already counted 258 fires in Canada in 2024 up to 13 May. At the same time, the extent of air pollution caused by these wildfires are highlighted …
