The whole of the northern hemisphere suffered deterioration of air quality as a result of 2023’s record-setting Canadian wildfires, while Canada’s own ten-year greenhouse gas reduction plan has essentially been erased as a result of emissions from this year’s conflagration.
The UK Met Office Hadley Centre, introduces an innovative data product, HadISDH.extremes, offering invaluable insights into temperature extremes and their humidity characteristics. This globally gridded monitoring product covers the period from January 1973 to December 2022.
A Low-cost UAV Coordinated Carbon Observation Network (LUCCN) equipped with medium-accurate greenhouse gas sensors for CO2 measurements is established. LUCCN combines ground-based and UAV-based in-situ measurement instruments, enhancing the detection and quantification capability of point source emissions in three dimensions.
Dust storms are one of the most frequent meteorological disasters in China, endangering agricultural production, transportation, air quality and the safety of people’s lives and properties. A research team has conducted a study of a series of dust storms that originated in Mongolia and spread into China in March and April, 2023.
Leading meteorologists analyzed the extreme, successive cold events in North America and East Asia in November and December 2022 to improve prediction models and mitigate future economic loss and casualties caused by cold surges.
