Postdoc opportunity: Help develop a prototype UK and pan-European anthropogenic CO2 emissions Monitoring and Verification Support (CO2MVS) system. Requires knowledge of atmospheric chemistry to improve source attribution of fossil fuel CO2 emissions. edin.ac/3EgwY8w

@trynottocryo Not sure exactly what you mean but this would return a list of all unique months in your daterange: daterange.strftime("%m-%Y").unique()

Poster time at #UKEO2022! (mine is the oversized crumpled one in the corner…)

I feel seen. #UKEO2022

Don't mean to alarm anyone but I think I've found where they're keeping the aliens 👽

Not a shabby place for to have the #UKEO2022 conference. Bring out the inner nerd🛰 (also outer nerd)

At least the early start to get to UK Earth Observation Conference has the advantage of nice views from the train #UKEO2022

@decarbnow It would be great to do something like that. The satellite data this plume data is from is quite coarse for picking out individual emission sources though, as each pixel is 5 x 3.5 km. Some power station information can certainly be got from it though

@douglasfinch Thanks for the fast answer! Maybe it’s asked too much, but it would be great to have a plume overlay so it’s easy to identify the sources of the plumes in connection to the power station data 👁

Talk day today at #LPS22! Session A5.05.1, about how we're using machine learning to detect pollution plumes in satellite data

@decarbnow It will be, although that data is preliminary at the moment so I'm hesitant about giving it out for purposes other than just show. We'll have some better data in the coming months if you're ok waiting

@douglasfinch Is the data available so we could incorporate it in our map?

@decarbnow Hi - Glad you like the work! The website can be a bit temperamental as it was quickly made so sometimes might not show anything. The plumes founds on that map should show up as blue dots on the zoomable map. This is a work in progress so more will be added in the future

@douglasfinch Hi Doug, great work! We’re very interested in what you are doing! We were going through some of the work. Could you take a look at the plume map, are the plume images missing or is it supposed to look like this? Thanks! ukatmosphere.org/dataplot/plume…

@mathiasdisney @seanpwcurrie They're apparently starting to take bikes again in September or October but they do keep pushing that date back

@seanpwcurrie Sounds fab! Unfortunately Eurostar stopped non folding bikes 😒 but most of the budget airlines will carry for €20-50 (surprisingly)

I'm on a slow 3-day-long train journey to visit my partner's family in Sicily ☀️ I hate to be that guy, but we NEED to talk about how flying is such a con. 1/

A few caveats - this doesn't pick up areas (e.g. Bavaria, Tropical Africa) or a country adjective (e.g. Brazilian, Chinese) but still interesting none the less!

Germany had the most with over 361 talks mentioning the name. Followed by Italy (223) and the USA (219). Although this method includes any mention of a country name so perhaps picking up when people talk about organisations (e.g. UK space agency)

What were the most talked about countries at #LPS22? I've scraped all the talk and poster titles and abstract and counted the number of times countries were mentioned, a fairly good spread but still a concentration on the usual locations! @ESA_EO

@kkno21 Yep it is! And luckily for you, you can read all about it here: amt.copernicus.org/articles/15/72…

@weerrecords Yep I'll be around all day! Want to meet at the first coffee break?

@douglasfinch Will you be at LPS22 tomorrow (Friday)? Would love to have a little chat.

My paper is out! 📝 Using image recognition to find emission plumes across the globe from satellite NO2 data. 🔥amt.copernicus.org/articles/15/72… You can have a look around the map of plumes here: ukatmosphere.org/dataplot/plume…

@weerrecords Ah - thanks for pointing that out! Hopefully the link ukatmosphere.org/dataplot/plume… works!

@douglasfinch very nice talk at #LPS22 but the link to the map-portal does not work (at least when I click it it links to a url without the "www" in ukatmosphere.org/dataplot/plume…)
