#Haze is common in this region, especially in winter when temperature inversions can keep hashtag#aerosols trapped close to ground level.

Visualizing with "only" our eyes, a typical pollution day looks like this, with #Sentinel3 #OLCI (RGB picture from @esa.int #Worldview) on 12.01.2025.

Such a thick pollution obscures parts of East & South #China, the Yellow Sea, South Korea, & coastal Sea of Japan (East Sea). It is full of #aerosols (small airborne particles) from many sources, including #desert #dust, industrial #pollutants, agricultural #fires, automobile exhaust, and more.

Thick #haze plume quantified with hashtag#Copernicus hashtag#Sentinel3 A+B in near real Time (NRT << 2.5 h) thanks to the @eumetsat.bsky.social operational processor.

This image illustrates the results thanks to a #Synergy of the #OLCI imagery (in Red Green Blue or RGB) depicting the vast amount of #smoke released in the Pacific, and the #SLSTR #NRT Active #Fires detection, based on the latest Collection 3 and its mini CSV files.

"Drill baby, drill..." - a new motto we are hearing these days from the USA presidency.

A sad coincidence, devastating #wildfires have recently affected #LosAngeles.

Our operational #Copernicus #Sentinel3 Near Real Time (<< 2.5 h) led by @eumetsat.bsky.social has been monitoring the situation.

I can't accept the idea that my communication works pay dangerous people jeopardizing our societies.

Freedom of opinion, yes. Freedom of misinformation, interference, & illegal offense, no.

I hope to revive the excitement feeling there ☺️! I stay of course on Linkedin as well ;-).

It was very fruitful to update each in a concise way about our latest works and progress, share #science news & tools.

But, very sadly the Twitter / X platform has clearly become unsuitable for such a purpose.

Hello @bsky.app , Farewell Twitter / X!

I started Media #Science communication & exchanges thanks to my account #JChimotScience, during my thesis time, in January 2017.

I had enjoyed it a lot at the beginning, such an exciting time! I met many new people who lately became nice colleagues.
