#NUBICOS @horizoneu.bsky.social
ICOS Talks is a series of webinars by scientists, for scientists which showcase groundbreaking greenhouse gas science topics facilitated by ICOS data.
ICOS Talks are an output of the @horizoneu.bsky.social project #NUBICOS
Friday 13th might be unlucky for some - but not for the @horizoneu.bsky.social project #NUBICOS, which held its 2026 General Assembly meeting today!
Partners gathered to reflect on progress made in 2025 and looked ahead to more activities in 2026.

In #NUBICOS we bring New Users for Better ICOS, and here we serve especially the satellite cal/val by incorporating fAPAR and LST measurements into wider ICOS Ecosystem measurements. 👋to old friends at
@ac-saf.eumetsat.int
as well as
@simonesabbatini.bsky.social
@earthobservations.bsky.social
Recent installations from the @horizoneu.bsky.social project #NUBICOS are helping enhance use of ICOS data for the remote sensing community.
Additional sensors for measuring #fAPAR were installed at several ICOS Ecosystem forest sites across Europe🌲

Bert Gielen (ICOS Ecosystem Thematic Centre) at @esa.int 7th Sentinel-2 Validation Team Meeting 🛰️
Bert presented improved measurements of Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR) at ICOS sites within the @horizoneu.bsky.social project #NUBICOS
... endless cable meters for a side by side PAR sensor comparison. 20 sensors from the below canopy setup, 2 from the mast, 8 spare & on top 35 extra for a fPAR comparison between @icos-ri.eu & @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social GBOV within #NUBICOS

Two Italian ICOS stations - Torgnon grassland and Torgnon larch forest - have been recently upgraded!
Supported by the Horizon Europe project #NUBICOS, this represents a joint effort between ICOS Italy and local partners.

In June, Land-Surface Temperature (LST) instruments were installed at Abisko-Stordalen Palsa Bog in Swedish Lapland as part of the #NUBICOS project🌡️
An essential climate variable, LST measurements are key for calibrating and validation remote sensing data.

@sindurp.bsky.social & Simone Sabbatini presented ICOS & the Horizon Europe project #NUBICOS at #GEOForum in Rome!
Their presentation detailed how in situ data are complementary to satellite data, and outlined how NUBICOS works towards new Ecosystem variables for satellite calibration/validation.
The @horizoneu.bsky.social project #NUBICOS is developing tools used to process data from portable FTIR spectrometers. This work contributes to wider efforts to enhance total column measurements.

Big news from MaceHead! A new automatic flask sampler was installed as part of #NUBICOS, making it a European ‘supersite’ for greenhouse gas monitoring and radiocarbons.
#NUBICOS New Users for a Better ICOS
Power outages, icy roads and record wind speeds - what was it like installing a flask sampler right before #StormEowyn hit the west coast of Ireland?
Find out more about the Mace Head 'supersite', a key part of the #NUBICOS project.

Mace Head, Ireland is our #NUBICOS flask comparison "supersite" where methods of @scrippsocean.bsky.social @noaa.gov @icos-ri.eu and GNS Science in NZ of #GHG, O2/N2 and radiocarbon 14C are compared. Day after installation Mace Head was in news headlines, thanks to Storm #Éowyn.
This installation is part of a task comparing ICOS systems to those of world-leading research institutes in the USA and New Zealand to quantify the compatibility between the global atmospheric measurements.

A big milestone for the @horizoneu.bsky.social project #NUBICOS! Last week saw the flask sampler setup installed at Mace Head on the west coast of Ireland
The Horizon Europe project #NUBICOS held it's first online General Assembly today! Project partners gathered to share highlights from 2024 and outline their plans for 2025.
Keep updated on developments for new users on the project website➡️https://www.icos-cp.eu/projects/nubicos
Participants for next year's ICOS Summer School have been selected! 🎉
As part of the HE project #NUBICOS, 35 participants from 16 countries will learn about ICOS measurement techniques and the carbon cycle in Hyytiälä, May 2025.

ICOS community has grown to be a strong network of European greenhouse gas researchers. Now, the @HorizonEU project #NUBICOS looks to consolidate this community for the long term. Read here what Evi-Carita Riikonen and her team do for impact and community engagement. www.icos-cp.eu/news-and-eve...
In #NUBICOS project we tested concept of virtual minimal kickoff, and then face-to-face all-staff meeting at M9. Success! Vivid discussions (and minimal powerpoint). New recruits are firmly onboard, and all have better view of needs and questions to other WPs.
