Spanish's contribution to @ICOS_RI Integrated Carbon Observation System

[AEMET @AEMET_Esp]

🧵 El episodio de calor de finales de mayo fue extraordinario para la época del año.

➡️ Los días 22, 27, 28 y 29 batieron récords de día cálido. Esto quiere decir que fueron los de mayor temperatura media en el conjunto de España para sus fechas concretas desde, al menos, 1950.

🌍New study from the coastal atmospheric stations El Arenosillo & Capo Granitola (2006–2023).

📈CO2 growth accelerated 1.6x, as CH4 increased 2.9–3.6x.
📊Climate feedbacks are reshaping regional GHG sources.

1⃣1⃣0⃣ years of atmospheric observation have been carried out at this site.
Izaña Atmospheric Observatory in Tenerife, Spain, is one of the WMO Global Atmospheric Watch stations that monitor greenhouse gases, ozone, aerosols, radiation, water vapor & meteorological conditions.

Today, staff from the Izaña ICOS station, located at the historic Izaña Observatory (@AEMET_izana), carried out mandatory leak tests in the laboratory and along the intake line. These tests are performed every 6 months to ensure the high data quality that characterises @ICOS_RI.

The Earth’s energy imbalance has reached a new high. In a stable climate, incoming energy from the sun is about the same as the amount of outgoing energy. But increasing greenhouse gas concentrations have upset the equilibrium.

Dr. Emilio Cuevas, former Scientific Director of the Izaña Atmospheric Research Center, was an outstanding scientist, a pioneer in atmospheric science, and a founding pillar of ICOS-Spain. We would like to share this small tribute in his memory: https://t.co/yculsS9ofE

Late last year, the @WMO #GAW programme published new guidelines for measuring carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

Experiences in setting up the ICOS network and Atmosphere station specifications fed into the final guidelines.

GHG measurements at El Arenosillo station (ARN, @intaespana), part of @ICOS_RI, require well-maintained sampling lines at 10, 50 and 100 m. On 14 Dec 2025, maintenance work and replacement of protection systems were carried out.

🌡️El verano de 2025 ha sido el más cálido de la serie histórica oficial, que comienza en 1961.

➡️También ha sido el más cálido desde 1916, según una reconstrucción climática.

➡️El verano más cálido en, al menos, 110 años.
