gclef"Forty years ago this month, scientists reported that human activities had punctured Earth’s protective ozone layer. What happened next offers a masterclass in international science-diplomacy.This was to be the Montreal Protocol, which was adopted in 1987. Among other actions, states agreed to reduce the production and consumption of certain CFCs to 50% of 1986 levels by 1999. The treaty laid the foundations for a remarkable success. As of 2024, worldwide emissions of the main ODS are 99% lower than at their peak, in 1989, and the ozone layer is on track to recover to pre-1980 levels by mid-century."<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01459-4" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01459-4</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Ozone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ozone</a> # <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ClimateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateDiary</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nature</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Environment</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GlobalWarming</a>

O=C=OGerman Satellite Achieves First Simultaneous CO2 and NO2 Measurements from Power Plant Emissions The newly developed approach allows scientists to directly measure <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CO2</a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/NO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NO2</a> over individual power plants, providing critical data for understanding atmospheric processes and industrial <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/emissions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emissions</a>. The findings, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, demonstrate that EnMAP can effectively track emissions over distances of several tens of kilometers, a feat previously considered unfeasible for a satellite not explicitly designed for atmospheric measurements.Power plants release CO2 and nitrogen oxides (NOx) as part of their regular operations, both of which significantly contribute to air pollution and climate change. CO2, a primary <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GreenhouseGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GreenhouseGas</a>, and NOx, a precursor to ground-level <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ozone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ozone</a>, have traditionally been challenging to monitor at high spatial resolutions from space.Most satellite instruments lack the fine-scale detail required to distinguish individual emission sources against the background atmospheric concentrations. <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/EnMAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnMAP</a>, however, overcomes these challenges with its unique capability to capture detailed 30 x 30 meter resolution imagery."Using the EnMAP data, we were able to determine the distribution of CO2 and NO2 in emission plumes from individual PowerPlants - for example, from facilities in <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SaudiArabia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaudiArabia</a> and the South African <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Highveld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Highveld</a> region, one of the world's largest emission hotspots," said Christian Borger, the study's first author and former postdoctoral researcher in the Satellite Remote Sensing Group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry.
