I added a new site to our Emission Observatory platform: Kusile power plant in South Africa. Annual NOx #emissions show a reduction in 2023 due to malfunctions, and a large increase in 2024 due to increase in production. www.emissionobservatory.org?site=kusile

Great way to end the week with our spotlight paper coming out in @rmets.org Weather - nice to have a citable publication on Finland’s strongest storm! Laurila et al. (2025): Storm Lyly, the first storm with observed hurricane-force winds in Finland rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

i'm losing it

Palisades fire scar spotted YESTERDAY👇 Pink fire retardant on the ground appear in red. Red arrows at detected active fires at 10:45 PST on SWIR satellite image inset. Caveat only large fires are detected. When wind picks up TODAY several others will probably pop up. sentinelshare.page.link/L57m

🔴⚠️🔥🚱In just 24 hrs the #PalisadesFire has burnt the 75% of the whole Pacific Palisades,extending for more than 6300 Ha,a catastrophic evolution boosted by strong winds and drought conditions in winter. Here the first Sentinel-2 📸 in its early stages, on Jan 7. #climateemergency @katharinehayhoe.com

Just a reminder on the Finnish independence day 🤬😞
