Using a data cube to monitor forest loss in the Amazon

Billions of radar images over the entire Amazon basin have been converted into a data cube and processed to help a dynamic detection of forest loss. This work, performed within the Sentinel-1 for Science: Amazonas project, uses a space-time data cube design (also known as StatCubes), where statistical information relevant to identify deforestation is extracted …

Is there an ozone hole over the tropics?

Certainly not according to available data. The claim of a so called “ozone hole” in the tropical lower stratosphere, “seven times larger in area than the one over Antarctica” (see Fig. 1), was made by a – highly controversial – paper (Lu, 2022). The study used data from the smoothed and gap-filled version of the …

Building a bridge: estimating carbon dioxide emissions using satellites

A team of researchers estimated the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal-fired power plants and other major anthropogenic point sources in the South African Highveld region using space-based data. The results indicate that CO2 emissions can be obtained also in challenging cases where the plumes from multiple sources overlap. The new publication characterizes CO2 emissions …

Prime company: KNMI (NL)

Methane is among the most important greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, causing rapid global warming. A recent study indicates that tropical methane emissions explain a large fraction of the global atmospheric methane growth (Feng et al., 2022). The relatively short lifetime of methane of about a decade makes methane emissions an attractive target of …
