Thelisys Lidar

Impressive #smoke plume from the #PalisadesWildfire and #Eatonfire detected by #Copernicus #Sentinel5P. The Aerosol Index image collected on Jan. 8 shows the huge emissions of the #LosAngelesFires caused by strong #drought and wind moving westward. #ClimateEmergency #California

📌Something strange appeared in the lidar signals.... case study is under investigation! ~ Warm and joyful wishes from the THELISYS Lidar team! 🎅🎉 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!❄️🎊

🔥 Smoke from the recent wildfire at #Xylokastro, affects Athens and the Attica region. #AtmoHub is monitoring the situation: our forecast for #smoketransport is now available for October 1 and 2, based on data from #CopernicusAtmosphere🔥

😊😊😊👏👏👏

The 2023 Canadian forest fires released about 640 million metric tons of carbon, according to a @NASA study. That’s comparable to the annual fossil fuel emissions of a large industrialized nation. The fires were driven by Canada’s warmest and driest conditions in decades.

Did you notice any hazy skies this week? 🌆 A massive smoke plume (grey layer moving over France and Mediterranean) from the Canadian #wildfires reached Europe, seen here by #MTGI1 on 19 August between 06:00 - 18:00 UTC. More info from @CopernicusECMWF: bit.ly/3yR6rzW

Elevated layers (4-6km), originated from Canadian fires, have been detected by "Thessaloniki Lidar System" on 20 August 2024 during operational observations. HYSPLIT model clearly identifies Canada as the common origin of the observed elevated layers. @m_parrington @DrMariLizaK

🔥‼️ Το 37% των δασών της Αττικής κάηκε μέσα στα 8 τελευταία χρόνια. 🔥 Στην Περ. Αττικής η επιφάνεια των δασικών εκτάσεων είναι ~1.2 εκ στρέμματα και τα τελευταία 8 χρόνια έχουν καεί 450 χιλ στρέμματα δάσους, δηλ. το 37% της επιφάνειας των δασών. 🔗 meteo.gr/article_view.c…

Intense #wildfires 🔥 have broken out north of #Athens, seen here by our MTG-I1 satellite yesterday 11.08. Fire hotspots & thick smoke plume visible from space between 11:00 - 17:30 UTC. Evacuations are in place as emergency workers try to keep fires under control. #ClimateCrisis

Extra 1/n 🔥 | In addition to the previous false color composite (open thread), the true color shows a very long smoke plume moving towards #Athens and entering the Mediterranean Sea - #Varnavas #Attica #Copernicus #Sentinel2 🛰️ 2024-08-12 Full Size: flic.kr/p/2q9CHnn 🧐

Breaking! 🔥 First image of the #wildfire near Athens 🇬🇷Almost 10000 ha affected, 25 km lenght N-S, thousands evacuated their homes & many hotspots visible in this #Sentinel2 🛰️ image: 2024-08-12. @CopernicusEMS also activated: See #EMSR746 Full Size: flic.kr/p/2q9zGtg 🧐

🆘 🔥 😢 Δυστυχώς η μεγάλη δασική πυρκαγιά επεκτάθηκε μόλις και στις εγκαταστάσεις του Εθνικόν Αστεροσκοπείον Αθηνών στο Λόφο Κουφού στην Πεντέλη, απειλώντας σημαντικές εγκαταστάσεις, τεχνολογίες, κόπους και προσπάθειες ερευνητικές χρόνων. #πυρκαγιά #Βαρνάβα

#EMSR746 Yesterday, a #wildfire broke out near #Varnavas, northeast of #Athens 🇬🇷, spreading rapidly & covering the city in thick smoke Our #MappingTeam is working to produce detailed maps of the 🔥 extent 🔽Our latest #EFFIS data shows the burnt area & active flames

📌📡 Elevated smoke layers, originated from Canadian massive fires, have been detected by "Thessaloniki Lidar System (THELISYS)" during 25-27 Jul 2024 on day & night-time operational observations @lap_auth @DrMariLizaK @PlatformAdam @m_parrington @CopernicusECMWF @CopernicusEU

Amazing view of #SO2 transport from #Etna and #Stromboli. The plumes from the volcanoes in #Sicily were captured by #Copernicus #Sentinel5p on July 7th. I pennacchi di SO2 dei due vulcani siciliani visti da satellite. In particolare si nota il plume dell'ultimo parossismo.

Impressive plume from the ongoing activity of #Etna and #Stromboli volcanoes. #Italy The #Copernicus #Sentinel5p #tropomi map on July 5th shows the SO2 emissions. #Airquality Un lungo pennacchio dai vulcani della #Sicilia viaggia verso Sud Est. #vulcano

Look at this⬇️ #EarthCARE broadband radiometer has delivered its initial data. The instrument measures radiative fluxes at the top of 🌎atmosphere. Global temperatures are rising, so understanding and monitoring the radiation balance is crucial.

After the #HurricaneBeryl the #Saharandust is coming. The huge plume is crossing the #Atlantic heading to #Caribbean, as shown in the #Copernicus #Sentinel5p image on June 3rd, confirming the @CopernicusECMWF CAMS. #Airquality @Giulio_Firenze
