++++ Oil Spill: Accurate forecasts from CMCC on the Kerch Strait ++++ On Sunday, December 15, following an incident between two oil tankers in the Kerch Strait. After this event, CMCC started the daily production of oil spill forecasts and delivered them to the competent National and International authorities. In the days following the event, the accuracy of the forecasts produced by CMCC was confirmed by satellite images produced by e-GEOS based on satellite information provided by the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana and the Ministero della Difesa. “This episode is an important confirmation of the advanced scientific level of the forecasts produced by CMCC for predicting the drift of oil spills,” commented Giovanni Coppini, who leads the global coastal research program at CMCC. “The accuracy of this information is crucial for understanding the dynamics of marine spills and promptly providing support to competent authorities to plan their actions at sea.” Simulations were performed using the Medslik-II oil spill model. Ocean currents were provided by Copernicus Marine Service for the Black Sea (produced by CMCC). ECMWF meteorological forecast was provided by the Italian Air Force Meteorological Service.

📍On Sunday 15th December, bad weather conditions led to an accident involving two oil tankers, resulting in an #oilspill in the Kerch Strait, #BlackSea. 🛰️ Through COSMO-SkyMed satellites by Agenzia Spaziale Italiana and Ministero della Difesa, e-GEOS carried out Radar acquisitions to analyse the area affected by the possible presence of spills from tankers. In the following image, processed via the e-GEOS #SEonSE application platform for maritime domain monitoring, the positions and characteristics of the identified oil spills are highlighted. 🤝🏻 The image has been provided to CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici, which carried out the drifting simulations and developed a specific bulletin on the event. 📸 #KerchStrait, Black Sea.

📣 Dataclime della Fondazione CMCC si arricchisce di una nuova funzionalità: le climate stripes per le province e le regioni italiane / Dataclime by CMCC introduces a new feature: Climate Stripes for Italian Regions and Provinces 📣 Siamo lieti di annunciare che Dataclime ora include le climate stripes per le regioni e le province italiane, rappresentazioni visive delle anomalie di temperatura dal 1981 al 2023, basate sul dataset del CMCC ad alta risoluzione a 2 km ERA5@2km. Con questa nuova funzionalità, intendiamo rafforzare ulteriormente la missione di adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici, promuovendo al contempo una comunicazione chiara e efficace sul cambiamento climatico. Vi invitiamo a registrarvi sulla piattaforma Dataclime del CMCC per visualizzare e scaricare le climate stripes per l'area italiana di vostro interesse. Per maggiori dettagli, visitate: https://lnkd.in/dJaTeskA ----------------------------------- We are pleased to announce that Dataclime by CMCC now includes climate stripes for Italian regions and provinces, which are visual representations of temperature anomaly from 1981 to 2023 using CMCC dataset at very high resolution ERA5@2km . This new feature represents an important step in raising awareness about climate change within our national context. With this addition, we aim to further support the mission of climate adaptation and promote broad, insightful communication on climate change. We invite you to register on the Dataclime platform by CMCC to visualize and download the climate stripes for the Italian area of your interest.

On December 19th, join us for the #AdJUST Webinar "Is the Social Climate Fund enough to ensure a Just Transition?" The keynote speaker, Xaquin Garcia from BC3, will analyze: - the socio-economic consequences of ETS2 and the Social Climate Fund (SCF) - the effectiveness of the SFC to ensure compensation for households’ welfare losses - the efficacy of the SCF in guaranteeing that energy-vulnerable households are not disproportionately impacted by EU climate measures, such as ETS2. The discussion will be moderated by Ireri Hernandez Carballo from CMCC, promising an engaging session with plenty of opportunities for audience interaction. ➡️ Register to attend: https://ow.ly/cU7b50Unlwz Organized by: #AdJUST project, CMCC
