#MeetOurScientists: The observations Dr Kostas Eleftheriadis and the rest of the CleanCloud-team make from Mt Helmos, are important to monitor long term developments and to decide on effective measures to tackle the #climatecrisis

The Weather and Climate Livestream just passed the 50 HOUR mark! Thank you to all of our viewers, speakers, hosts, and organizers!

We will be streaming live, on Youtube, until the official start of hurricane season this Sunday, June 1st. 50 more hours to go!

#MeetOurScientists: With the help of a cloud sampler, Aiden Jönsson is able to investigate the particles inside the clouds. Important to better understand aerosols and their interactions with clouds - and how future climate and weather will impact our lives.

📢 Reminder: Don’t forget to join us tomorrow at 13:00 CET for the exciting talk by Prof. Annica Ekman.

#MeetOurScientists: How can CleanCloud and other Horizon Europe projects make a difference? Through new measurements, improved models and less uncertainty for future climate predictions. Meet Daniel Partridge of @universityofexeter.bsky.social @horizoneu.bsky.social

📢 Our next seminar is coming up!
