The final chapter of my Ph.D. is published! We show how the soil moisture vs. soil NOx relationship can help explain NO2 variability over Central U.S. cropland, with implications for rural to urban AQ. Check out our publication at JGR: Atmospheres 👉 doi.org/10.1029/2024JD041015

Blink and you'll miss it! On 18 May, a meteor burned up in the night sky over Spain and Portugal – it was also caught by the Lightning Imager on the Meteosat Third Generation Imager satellite far away in geostationary orbit. Credits: @esa / @eumetsat

It’s been 24 hours since the new EPA PM2.5 (air quality / particulate matter) standard, so that’s enough time to pass for a few hot takes. The new standard is a net positive for sure, but several important nuances to be aware of… Mega-thread! 🧵 1/

This is a really good paper (biased but still...) Quantifies health benefits of geostationary (and polar-orbiting) satellite data. More data, especially in near-real-time, can allow the public to make living-saving decisions to the tune of $13 billion and that's an underestimate.
[New @AguGeohealth] O’Dell @K8ODell @SusanAnenberg @GWpublichealth et al. identified 60% more person-alerts (people x PM2.5 alerts) with geostationary satellite data than polar-orbiting satellites, potentially averting 1,200 deaths & saving $13 billion. 👉doi.org/10.1029/2023GH000890

What crap. Science has to be inclusive and we really shouldn't stay quiet while they politicise it this way. These are our colleagues, friends, students and mentors who they are trying to drive away.
NEW: Conservatives are safeguarding scientific research from the denial of biology and the steady creep of political correctness. @michelledonelan announces plans to depoliticise science at #CPC23

Preliminary & qualitative NO2 comparison between TEMPO (left) & TROPOMI (right). Seem to match very well! Tried to match colorbar as best I could. Cloud filter used for TEMPO public images is less strict than TROPOMI QA>0.75 flag. Thread has CONUS & other US regions.
