COMECAP 2023 . Dr Solomos is talking about dust processes

📣 Tomorrow is a BIG day for NOA ReACT and the PANGEA4CalVal team at #COMECAP2023! 🌍 ⬇️We're thrilled to announce that EIGHT of our team members will be presenting oral sessions! 🙌

🌎🛰️🚀NOA-ReAct team met with #NASA, #ESA, Ακαδημία Αθηνών / Academy of Athens and #HellenicSpaceCenter to talk about #extremeweather in the #Mediterranean and how #satellites and suborbital data can help us understand it better. 👉A highlight of the event was the talks at the NOA garden.

It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with such a distinguished and dedicated team of professionals. We look forward to continuing our fruitful cooperation in the future. #EARTHCARE #PACE 🛰️🌌

Why do we care about #dust? Not the stuff you see people dramatically blowing off old books in films, but the tonnes of particles picked up by the wind from places like the Sahara Desert... Natalie Ratcliffe explains all via the ASKOS Aeolus Cal/Val Campaign campaign 👌 3⃣👉blogs.esa.int/campaignearth/…

📢The day has started with Eleni Drakaki's presentation on "Assessing the Impact of Aeolus Wind Profiles in WRF-Chem Model Dust Simulations in September 2021"! 👏 NOA ReACT ΕΑΑ

👉Next on the floor Anna Kampouri presenting : "Inversion Techniques on Etna’s Volcanic Emissions and the Impact of Aeolus on Quantitative Dispersion Modeling"! 🌋👏#COMECAP2023 NOA ReACT ΕΑΑ

➡️A full day of @noa_react presentations at #COMECAP2023! Anna Moustaka just presented: "Assessment of CALIOP-CALIPSO Retrievals towards Estimating the Aerosol Direct Impact on the Shortwave Radiation Budget in North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East"!🛰️

📣And the presentations continue with Peristera Paschou on "eVe Lidar Measurements during the ASKOS/JATAC Campaign"! 🛰️🙌🇨🇻 #COMECAP2023 NOA ReACT ΕΑΑ

Day 4⃣ of our ASKOS Aeolus Cal/Val Campaign reminiscing... ❓ When the singularity comes... who will be our overlords? 🤔🤖🤷 😼 Definitely the cats 🐈blogs.esa.int/campaignearth/…

📊 Don't forget to check out today's posters: 1️⃣ "Dust Orientation Measurements in ASKOS Aeolus Cal/Val Campaign /ESA Campaign" by A.Tsekeri 2️⃣ "Cloud Types and Geometrical Properties Observed Above #PANGEA Observatory in the Eastern Mediterranean" by I.Koutsoupi #comecap2023 NOA ReACT

5⃣ The 🍒 on top of the wonderful ASKOS Aeolus Cal/Val Campaign campaign was a wonderful school workshop, where students were blown away by Aeolus! 🤩 Many of the NOA ReACT scientists involved wowed the kids of Rhodes, who learned about wind and how we measure it 👉esa.int/Education/Stud…

#ImageOfTheDay #Elias, the second major storm to hit #Greece 🇬🇷 in just a few weeks, has caused widespread floods in Thessaly Many agricultural areas remain flooded, and 🚗 traffic is disrupted ⬇️The Pinios River's sediment plume is visible in the #Sentinel2 image of 30/9

🌎At #ReACT we are dedicated to the collection & analysis of #airquality data using #remotesensing tech. 👉 Now a new WHO report says that data and monitoring are essential to fight #airpollution, which kills 7 million people every year. 👀 Find out more: bit.ly/3M4djxn
