From 27-04 to 02-05, the @EuroGeosciences (EGU) General Assembly ‘Urban Air Quality and Greenhouse Gases’ will take place in Vienna, #Austria. The session is partially organised by #Ruisdael researchers Ulrike Dusek, Sander Houweling and Julie Fry: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/…

The call for abstracts is now open for the International Conference on #UrbanClimate (7-11 July). Hosted by @IAUrbanClimate & @ametsoc, researchers & policymakers are invited to explore the dynamic interplay between urban environments & climate challenges: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/ICUC12/session…

During the 1st @‌tudelft #ClimateAction Lunch Lecture of 2025, Herman Russchenberg was invited to speak on the current state of the #climate, academia's role in climate action, the challenges ahead and whether we are truly doing what is necessary: collegerama.tudelft.nl/mediasite/Show…

During the Delft #ClimateWeek, citizens made their way to @TheGrnVillage on @tudelftcampus for inspirational tours. With a focus on #climate & #energy, this field lab offers an opportunity to discover innovations like our mobile cloud profiler platform: thegreenvillage.org/project/ruisda…

Researchers from @WUR have released #MicroHH 2.0: a fluid dynamics code to simulate small-scale processes in the #atmospheric boundary layer. Below you will find the moisture & CO2 in the near-surface atmosphere using #RuisdaelObservatory facilities. github.com/microhh/microh…

On Sept 26-27, the #workshop “high-resolution modelling of urban #airquality and #greenhouse #gasemissions” took place in #Utrecht, NL. Initiated by @NL_Space, who brought together 45 experts, including a lot of #Ruisdael partners and foreign participants.

#PhD researcher from @WUR Mirjam Tijhuis recently published her paper titled “The impact of coupled 3D shortwave radiative transfer on surface #radiation and cumulus #clouds over land”, using simulations over our measurement station in #Cabauw. acp.copernicus.org/articles/24/10…

Ruisdael is making #ACTRIS facilities more accessible through the ITINERIS–ACTRIS Access Pilot Call! Connect with top Dutch research sites like #CESAR & the Dutch Centre for Cloud Remote Sensing to advance research on #airquality & #climatechange. itineris.cnr.it/events/itineri…

A delegation of @RepairClimate from #Cambridge visited @tudelft to discuss their #collaboration on pioneering techniques to combat #climatechange. Herman Russchenburg spoke on using #seawater to boost cloud reflectivity and reduce global warming: tudelft.nl/en/2022/univer…

Reliable #solar radiation forecasting is key for stable electric grid ops. While #clouds impact solar radiation, traditional advection methods struggle to predict cloud development. @KNMI researchers compared 2 deep learning models & an advection method: ruisdael-observatory.nl/deep-learning-…

Folkert Boersma of @WUR & @KNMI discussed advancing air quality research using satellite data, focusing on pinpointing pollution sources with TROPOMI. He highlighted: “freely accessible @RuisdaelObserv data enables me to take faster & more effective steps in my research".

The Science Day is currently ongoing! At @UniUtrecht, we welcome all our partners to share their findings in order to learn from each other & strengthen #collaboration. By bringing together scientists from various disciplines, we can gain a better understanding of the #atmosphere

As part of the first #NationalOpenScienceWeek at @tudelft, #Ruisdael researcher Marc Schleiss joined a panel on citizen science’s role in improving rainfall data collection. His work focuses on how #climatechange impacts extreme #rainfall & the potential of citizen observations.

Sunlight varies on scales as small as seconds or tens of metres, largely due to #clouds. At @WUR, #PhD researcher Wouter Mol presents his thesis, in which he quantifies the variability of #sunlight with spatial measurements using new, low-cost instruments: wur.nl/nl/nieuws-wur/…

During the @ICOS_RI Science Conference last week, #Ruisdael researcher Arseniy Doyennel @VUamsterdam spoke on ‘High-resolution modeling of CO₂ in 🇳🇱 & the dispersion of emissions from the Randstad using DALES.’ See the daily cycle of near-surface CO₂ concentrations simulated.👇
