Our last day of fieldwork for the #EnMAP project was eventful with lightning, hail, wind and a downpour. Luckily all viewed from Björkliden's restaurant terrace. Unfortunately the clouds moved in just in time for the satellite overpass.

Yesterday, besides the opening session of #LPS25, I found Sofia Walther et al's talk on estimating Arctic Boreal NEE interesting, with importance of local training and addition of meteo variables, with more results to come.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
