Project NuClim @nuclim.bsky.social · 17d

The first measurements are running and more will follow soon!
NuClim aims to determine the baseline of greenhouse gas concentrations in the North Atlantic. We look at radon, greenhouse gases and a range of other parameters at the ENA observatory (Azores) and @maceheadccaps.bsky.social (Ireland).

How does radon tell us about how air moves and mixes?
And what is the goal of our project?

The figure is a two-part drawing. The main colors are different shades of blue and a dark orange.
The top part is titled "Radon originates from land". In it many arrows are moving from left to right. They have the same color dark orange color as "radon" in the title. They are on top of symbols for wind. Some arrows end, some start but overall the number at each horizontal position remains the same. On the bottom, arrows seem to originate from a dark blue rectangle in the same color as "land" in the title. In addition, on it are placed little icons showing an industrial facility. On the right side of the figure, a location marker is set into the air. In it, a a scale indicates a high value and it says "radon" below the scale.
The bottom part is titled "Radon disappears over sea". The overall layout of the second part is very similar to the first. However, the right two thirds of the bottom do not have the rectangle but waves in a lighter blue (the same color as "sea" in the title). From it only very few and small arrows originate. The arrows in the air are similar to the previous ones on the left side, on the right side however, there are fewer arrows beginning, so the overall number of arrows decreases. The scale in the location marker shows a low value.

Nice change of scenery during today's excursion to "Tavastland", currently docked in Landskrona. Thanks Madeleine for showing & explaining the ferry box setup. Measurements by #SMHI as part of @icossweden.bsky.social & data from other ships of opportunity contribute to the @icos-ri.eu Ocean Domain.
