Project NuClim @nuclim.bsky.social · Sep 29
The first measurements are running and more will follow soon!
NuClim aims to determine the baseline of greenhouse gas concentrations in the North Atlantic. We look at radon, greenhouse gases and a range of other parameters at the ENA observatory (Azores) and @maceheadccaps.bsky.social (Ireland).
A map in shades of blue showing the North Eastern Atlantic with light arrows mostly from south west to north east and highlighting the Graciosa Island in the Azores and Mace Head in Ireland. A big cloud in the top left corner, containing the text "measurements of air masses without human influence". Around the text, icons for pressure, methane, gamma radiation, wind, carbon dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, eddies, ozone, rain, radon and temperature are arranged. The cloud is connected to the two measurement stations by a kind of flow-y triangle. In the top left corner the project's logo and two hands holding an earth and radiation sign in grey are placed. In the bottom right corner small text says: "Wind data from E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information (DOI: 10.48670/moi-00181), map data from Natural Earth".

Ava presented NuClim to the consortium of RadonNet during their project meeting.

RadonNet is an EU project workin on quantifying Rn-222 activity concentrations indoors. They focus on connected and low-energy buildings, anticipating the implementation in future cities.

Photo of an asian woman presenting a slide show. She is looking towards the slide and seems to be explaining something. On the slides, the NuClim logo and a list of bullet points describing the project are visible. Not much of the rest of the room is visible. It looks bare, apart from one computer monitor on a table in the foreground.

Photo of a smiling, asian woman. She is standing next two a table with mayne cables, tubes and small electronic devices. If there is any order in the arrangement, it does not become obvious to the unknowing observer. Her hand is comfortably resting on one of the devices. She is holding a laptop and a phone. In the background some more equipment with larger tubes, and stored bags as well as another person walking by are visible.

We had our second presentation yesterday. Craig talked about radon-based greenhouse gas tracing.

And the next is coming in less than two weeks:
On Feb 11th Xuemeng Chen (Ava) will talk about aerosols and clouds and why we are measuring them within NuClim.
Screenshot of a video call. At the top two small camera views are seen. On the left a blond, white women in an office, she is muted. On the right a bald, white man in front of a window. He is speaking. His name is displayed as Craig Lils. Below the videos a slide is dominantly visible. It says big "Application 1: greenhouse gas baselines" with a picture of a power plant of manufacturing plant to the right. Lots of smoke/steam is coming from the chimneys. The slide has a white background and NPL with their logo is displayed in the top right. The color of the text matches the blue of the NPL logo.

Screenshot of a webinar. At the top two women are visible. The right one ist speaking and labelled as "Susana Barbosa". She is dark haired and wearing glasses. At the bottom, a slide is visible. The title is "Field campaigns". On the slides are two pictures. On the left a number of white containers in a row with a diversity of antennas and masts is visible. One of the containers is highlighted with a yellow arrow. On the right side, just one container with a mast labelled "inlet" is shown. In both pictures the weather is ckear and the background is relatively flat with some smaller hills in the background. On the slide is written "ENA field campaign (Graciosa island, Azores), Radon measurements". Two logos are on the slide, on the left INESC TEC and on the right NuClim.
