The expanded use of Mode-S EHS aircraft observations in ECMWF's global forecasting system has been a major success, delivering improved forecast skill, especially at low latitudes. We will review the ...

We present the latest developments and status of the E-Profile microwave radiometer network which aims at providing real-time temperature profiles, water vapor and forecast indices in the atmospheric ...

Severe convective weather can develop rapidly, making early detection of thunderstorm electrification essential for effective warning. This presentation introduces a standalone, ground-based sensor designed to detect both the electrical charge development associated with thunderstorms and weak intracloud lightning activity. By identifying these precursors to mature lightning, the system supports earlier recognition of hazardous Cumulonimbus development and intensification. The sensor is particularly suited to remote locations and areas without access to weather radar. It provides sensitive, local monitoring that complements established lightning-detection networks, helping to extend warning lead times for severe convective hazards.

Coarse particulate matter (PM2.5–10) remains difficult to characterise at high temporal resolution because conventional optical instruments are sensitive to particle shape and composition. This presen ...

This presentation describes advances in a low-power, autonomous eddy covariance system for measuring ocean–atmosphere greenhouse gas fluxes from marine platforms. The system combines improved gas and ...

This presentation shares field experience from LoRaWAN-based environmental observation networks deployed in two contrasting environments: dense forests in Luxembourg and remote rural areas in Banglade ...

The presentation outlines innovative measurement modules developed by Marlin-Yug LLC; since 2023, these have been used to establish a unified network of observation boreholes for Roshydromet, designed ...
