This image by #Sentinel2 on 5 March 2025, shows Mount Teide in Tenerife, Canary Islands 🇪🇸, covered in fresh snow. Following a weekend of heavy rain and sub-zero temperatures brought by a storm system known as an upper-level isolated depression (DANA), snowfall began on 2 March.

Looking forward to this year's European Lidar Conference in Warsaw: a great opportunity to learn about new developments and scientific advances, and to network with the experts! igf.fuw.edu.pl/en/conferences…

Dust season has officially kicked off with an intense event! A thick Saharan dust plume has reached Cyprus, with the Cyprus Atmospheric Observatory’s CE376 lidar in Nicosia detecting the layer between 2 km and 5 km altitude.

🌍🚀 Exciting News! We’re thrilled to welcome Francesco Moncada & Eleni Kolintziki as the first PhD researchers in the Dust-DN Network! 🎉 EMME-CARE The Cyprus Institute BSC-CNS Barcelona Dust NOA ReACT Reading Meteorology Carlos P GarcíaPando Dr Claire Ryder Franco Marenco

A warm welcome to the first Dust Doctoral Network doctoral candidates!

Henriette Gebauer, Silke Gross and Franco Marenco Franco Marenco took us from Cape Verde to Tajikistan, up in the air with thousands of km of research flights, as well as a plethora of UAVs probing our atmosphere and its aerosols over Cyprus and Greece

Happy equinox! Today, the sun appears directly above the equator, casting roughly equal amounts of sun on the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Here's how it looked this morning, thanks to NOAA Satellites GOES-E weather sat.

A nice dusting of Saharan sand here in the Netherlands today. As well as the sand, we have some mercifully warm weather too! Obviously plenty of sand still in the sky too, judging by the colour...

A stunning view of the partial #SolarEclipse from space! 🌒 Captured by EUMETSAT's Meteosat-12 satellite, you can see the Moon’s shadow sweeping across Earth btwn 06:00 - 12:30 UTC 🛰 Unlike a total eclipse, part of the Sun remained visible - did you catch it from the ground?👀

#AirPollution-aware people still on X, you can learn more abt Atmospheric Research Infrastructures whose access is supported by the European Commission through ATMO ACCESS project 🙌 Consider registering for 2nd edition and thanks for spreading the word! 🙏

Associate research scientists at CARE-C of the The Cyprus Institute, Dr Maria Kezoudi and Dr Katiana Constantinidou took part in an inspiring event entitled “Five Women Role Models Breaking Stereotypes and Shaping the Future of Science”. More information👇 emme-care.cyi.ac.cy/care-c-researc…

Dust is in the air again , and predicted to stay the whole weekend in Cyprus! Checking the feasibility of having UAV flights to sample the upper layers: this contributes to the Dust Doctoral Network and EMME-CARE projects.

"Crete island choking in Saharan dust" Powerful winds in pushed huge amounts of Saharan #dust from Libya toward the eastern Mediterranean as seen from space today, May 09. This impacts the region, especially the island of Crete. 🛰EUMETSAT Meteosat-IODC Processed in Zoom Earth

This animation on May 14 Show Three Massive Sandstorms occurred across the region the Ouargla & El Bayadh & Ghardaïa Province, Algeria, and these storms often interacted and merged, creating a larger, more extensive dust cloud that blanketed a wide area 🛰EUMETSAT ✂️Zoom Earth

Another day, another aerosol layer over the Cyprus sky. Spotted at 7 km a.g.l. by the CIMEL lidar at CYI in Nicosia, this faint layer arrived from quite far...
