In Southern Mediterranean regions, the issue of summer fires related to agriculture practices is a periodic recurrence. It implies significant increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other combustion-related gaseous particles compounds emitted into atmosphere with potential impacts on air quality global climate. this work, we performed an analysis fire events that occurred August 2021. Measurements were carried out at permanent World Meteorological Organization (WMO)/Global Atmosphere...
Due to its high short-term global warming potential (GWP) compared carbon dioxide, methane (CH4) is a considerable agent of climate change. This research aimed at analyzing data on gathered the GAW (Global Atmosphere Watch) station Lamezia Terme (Calabria, Southern Italy) spanning seven years continuous measurements (2016-2022) and integrating results with key meteorological data. Compared previous studies detected mole fractions same station, daily-to-yearly patterns have become more...
In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak led many countries across globe to introduce lockdowns (LDs) that effectively caused most anthropic activities either stop completely or be significantly reduced. Europe, Italy played a pioneeristic role via early introduction of strict nationwide LD on March 9th. This study was aimed at evaluating, using both chemical and meteorological data, environmental response occurrence as observed by Lamezia Terme (LMT) GAW/WMO station in Calabria, Southern Italy. The...
Unlike stratospheric ozone (O3), which is beneficial for Earth due to its capacity screen the surface from solar ultraviolet radiation, tropospheric poses a number of health and environmental issues. It has multiple effects that drive anthropogenic climate change, ranging pure radiative forcing reduction carbon sequestration potential in plants. In central Mediterranean, itself represents hotspot studies, multi-year data on have been analyzed at Lamezia Terme (LMT) WMO/GAW coastal...
The key towards a sustainable future is the reduction of mankind’s impact on natural systems via development new technologies and improvement source apportionment. Though days, years seasons are arbitrarily set, their mechanisms based cycles driven by Earth’s orbital periods. This not case for weeks, which pure anthropic category known from literature to influence emission cycles. For first time since it started data gathering operations, CO (carbon monoxide), CO2...
