Layers of radiation fog near my hometown this morning. Not a very turbulent morning!

Article in Dutch press about the TANGO cubesat mission for measuring CO2, NO2 and methane. TANGO is developed by KNMI, SRON, TNO and ISISpace. I am one of the two principal investigators for TANGO. nos.nl/artikel/2574...

Tropomi NO2 image of the plume of the fires near Marseille, France, as measured today in the early afternoon. Besides in NO2, the plume was also clearly visible in carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and aerosol data from Tropomi.

TROPOMI data on a very very big screen at the ESA living planet symposium. Impressive to see the impact of humans on our planet on such a large display @lps25.bsky.social @knmi.nl @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social

Today ESA and ISISpace signed the contract for the development of the TANGO cubesats for greenhouse gas satellites. KNMI is part of this dance! @esaearth.esa.int @knmi.nl

This week at the ESA #lps25 conference. Happy to see the TANGO mission in the ESA mission chart! @esaearth.esa.int @knmi.nl

Also clearly visible in the Aeronet aerosol optical depth over Lille, France.

The #Tropomi data shows that a smoke plume of the Canadian wildfires is over France, the UK, Ireland, Belgium and The Netherlands. According to the Tropomi data, this plume is at an altitude higher than 9 km. @knmi.nl @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social @esaearth.esa.int

Sulfur dioxide plume from the eruption of mount Etna, as observed by Tropomi this afternoon. #etna #italy

Do you know at which altitude the transport takes place, according to the model?

Here is the #Tropomi image of this afternoon, which shows smoke over the Baltic states, Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium and France. I also noted some high aerosol optical depth values at #Aeronet stations, for example yesterday afternoon in Cabauw, The Netherlands.

knmiI also made a movie of TROPOMI aerosol index observations of the last 7 days. It shows how the wildfire plume crosses the Atlantic and moves towards Europe. @knmi.nl @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social #tropomi

Smoke aerosols from wildfires in Canda were this afternoon observed over Europe (Ireland, UK, Denmark, Germany and Poland) with the Copernicus S5P Satellite. The aerosol layer over the North Sea was at an altitude of 5-6 km. @knmi.nl @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social #tropomi

Smoke plume from fires in #Canada on its way to Europe. According to the #Tropomi image of yesterday, the plume is at an altitude of 4-6 km. @knmi.nl @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social

Big smoke plumes from wildfires over #Canada and #Russia, as seen in yesterday's #Tropomi images.

It is amazing how much information we can obtain with satellites. This image shows a SO₂ plume from a volcano on the small remote island Ambae in the South Pacific, measured yesterday with #Tropomi. More than 15,000 km from where I live, yet we receive accurate information!

The #TROPOMI satellite instrument detected a large smoke plume from wildfires in #Canada on Wednesday, which on Thursday was over the North Atlantic.
