#SaharanDust transport over Northern Africa in recent days has been captured by the GOME-2 (Metop-B and Metop-C) absorbing aerosol index (AAI). #CAMS forecast shows the plume moving over southern and western Europe this week. 🌬️

GOME-2 (B+C) observations show absorbing aerosol index (AAI) plumes from wildfires over West Africa and west of Chile on 17 and 19 January, extending over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Background: NASA/NOAA-21 VIIRS active fires (past 24 h) in red and GFS 800 hPa winds at 11:00 (from Ventusky).

Tuuli Perttula takes the stage at #WSW2026 Tailored Satellite-Based Air Quality Products for Operational Weather Forecasting: Turning complex satellite data into intuitive products that support real-time air quality monitoring and forecasting.

A transported SO2 plume from #HailyGubbi on 23-26 November, as seen by the GOME-2 instrument on the MetOp-B and MetOp-C satellites. 🌋 The volcano erupted on 23 November in Afar Region, Ethiopia.

Trees are nature’s carbon keepers - and satellites help us watch over them. 🌳 By tracking vegetation growth & forest health from space, scientists can see how much carbon dioxide plants are absorbing and where reforestation efforts are working. Find out more from our new case study: bit.ly/43n8wjk

EUMETSAT Climate Symposium. Here we are.

HCHO trend over Arabian Peninsula 2005-2023. Measured with GOME-2 instrument. EUMETSAT Climate Symposium starts tomorrow, see us there: www.eumetsat.int/eumetsat-cli... . #formaldehyde #HCHO #EUMETSAT #timeserie #climate

EUMETSAT Climate Symposium is on next week, 28-30 Oct. Meet us there. Here is Merged GOME-2 tropospheric NO2 column for Western Europe for the period 01/2007 - 12/2024. #GOME-2 #EUMETSAT #NO2 www.eumetsat.int/eumetsat-cli...

The ozone hole that exists every year, but is no longer growing. Proof that international environmental regulations and co-operation, like Montreal protocol, work ! Here we have temperatures in the polar vortex (left), and ozone concentrations (right). Time period 1 Aug - 6 Sep 2025

To extend the life of Metop-B, five satellite maneuvres are planned in September. The first maneuver is planned on Tue 2 Sep, with the following instrument outages (~ 2 orbs): IASI 07:12:41-13:06:45 GOME-2 10:25:24-13:49:13. The nexts are planned for 9, 16, 23 and 30 Sep. Image: ESA/AOES Medialab

Here are examples of GOME-2 B&C Level 3 Tropospheric NO2 for two African cities, Nairobi and Casablanca, annual mean 2024. NO2 is produced mainly in combustion of fossil fuels (coal, gas and oil) and especially fuel used in cars. Click images to get larger view.

Directional #Lambertian-Equivalent #Reflectivity (DLER) version 4.1 is finally released. It has been available as demonstrational product a while, but now we can announce the official release. Added wl, improved errors, directionality and quality. Download and have a try! acsaf.org/datarecords/...
