Putin does not want to negotiate. Putin does not want peace. Putin wants to kill as many people as possible and steal their land to expand his empire.

Kaupunkien, voimaloiden ja muiden päästölähteiden seuranta on kriittistä ilmastonmuutoksen kannalta. Tutkijoidemme johdolla on tänä vuonna kehitetty kaksi uutta menetelmää päästölaskentaan satelliittihavainnoista.

Uudet menetelmät tehostavat voimaloiden ja kaupunkien päästöseurantaa
Satelliitit ovat osoittautuneet toimivaksi tavaksi monitoroida yksittäisiä päästölähteitä avaruudesta käsin. Tuoreet tutkimukset havainnollistavat satelliittidatan merkittävää potentiaalia paljastaa

Yhteistyömme Ukrainan kanssa jatkuu, nyt ilmanlaadun parissa. Satelliittien avulla saatava ilmanlaatudata on erityisen hyödyllistä Ukrainassa, jossa sota vaikuttaa ilmanlaatuun ja rajoittaa ilmanlaadun mittauksia maassa.

Ilmatieteen laitoksen yhteistyö Ukrainan kanssa jatkuu – nyt
Suomalais-ukrainalaisen ilmanlaatuhankkeen ensimmäinen koulutus järjestettiin Suomessa toukokuussa. Koulutus keskittyi ilmanlaadun arviointiin satelliittiaineistojen avulla.

Today at the @acccflagship.bsky.social impact week talking about the effects of the war in Ukraine as seen from satellites
Researcher @iolandaialongo.bsky.social talking about assessing the effect of the war in Ukraine using satellite data.

We discussed the notable impacts of military emissions on climate & environment. Reporting the emissions is still voluntary and thus poorly documented.

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!

Storm Lyly, the first storm with observed hurricane‐force winds in Finland
On 1 November 2024, Storm Lyly set a Finnish record for 10min average wind speeds (33.5ms−1 in Rauma Kylmäpihlaja), marking Finland's first hurricane-force winds and causing significant damage. The s....

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.

As another Finnish person said: ”F***ing finally” Better hurry up…
Breaking News: President Biden authorized the first use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia, U.S. officials said. His decision is a major change in U.S. policy.
Biden Allows Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range U.S. Missiles
With two months left in office, the president for the first time authorized the Ukrainian military to use the system known as ATACMS to help defend its forces in the Kursk region of Russia.
