Copernicus ECMWF

🌍🔬 Have you already read the 2023 #ESOTC report from #CopernicusClimate and the World Meteorological Organization? In this video, you can watch a summary of the report highlighting some of the key findings related with heatwaves, wildfires, drought, flooding and much more.   Read the report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eNr47gUG

The 2024 Antarctic #ozonehole has persisted throughout November following its average development up to that point. The stratospheric polar vortex is predicted to breakdown in early December bringing it to a close. See more charts, e.g. our 3D animation, and additional information 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQqGNa8m

💡 The latest episode in our #C3S Energy Webinar series by Inside Climate Service is now online. In this session you can learn how insights from two new case studies (Enel Group and Everoze) using seasonal forecasts and climate projection data can improve energy strategies.

The need for robust, high-quality climate and atmospheric composition data has never been more pressing. We look back at our presence at #COP29 to share the importance of data from the #CopernicusClimate Change Service and the #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service now and in the future. Read the full article, highlighting the most important discussions ECMWF Director-General Florence Rabier, C3S Director Carlo Buontempo and CAMS Director Laurence Rouil took part in.

Do you work with climate information or would you like to learn? Then share your interests and needs in this survey: https://lnkd.in/ege7XYSX Your input will shape Wageningen University & Research's new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) for the #CopernicusClimate Change Service (#C3S), making it an engaging, practical and tailored learning experience. Thank you for your participation.

Since early November high levels of air pollution have been affecting the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Our #CopernicusAtmosphere data shows how high concentrations of fine particulate matter PM2.5 have been accumulating from north-eastern Pakistan and across northern India to Bangladesh. Air pollution episodes like this are common in the region at this time of year, due to the particular orography, atmospheric circulation and crop residue fires. However, the current situation is exceptional and considered hazardous to health: During many periods between 10 and 20 November, CAMS data showed concentrations of PM2.5 exceeding 300 µg/m³ across large parts of the region. The World Health Organization recommends targets of 15 µg/m³ daily and 5 µg/m³ annual mean concentrations not to be exceeded. Read our latest article for all the details: https://lnkd.in/eXx99q_X

How will climate change in your region? The C3S Atlas allows you to explore and analyse past and future climate monitoring and change information in a flexible way. It facilitates global and regional in-depth assessment of past trends and future changes in key variables and (extreme) indices for different periods across emission scenarios or for different policy-relevant global warming levels (e.g. 1.5°, 2°, 3° and 4°).

Today at the COP29 Azerbaijan event on climate scenarios, #C3S director Carlo Buontempo highlighted that the near real-time production of climate data has attracted new attention and audiences who are asking interesting questions, e.g., about the #Honga-Tonga effect, the reasons for the sharp rise in #CH4, and the role of shipping #aerosols.   Buontempo explained that the current setup, characterised by a long production cycle of climate data over several years, is not well suited to answer these kinds of questions. He argued that climate science and services need to change to provide more salient and actionable information on climate in support of rapidly changing policy landscape and societal interests.     The event was organised by the CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia and the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE). 👉 Read our #COP29 statement: https://lnkd.in/g9_Him2g

Many thanks to World Meteorological Organization and Gianpaolo Balsamo for the organisation of this event at COP29 Azerbaijan ! I had the pleasure to exchange with Greg carmichael and Vanda Grubišić, Ph.D. about the key role played by space-based and in-situ Earth observations for supporting implementation and assessment of climate mitigation strategies.. provided that sustainability, quality assurance, and transparency are ensured!
