Documentary film about GLWF black carbon global research is well in progress.

This year GLWF took a part in international research project DNAAP coordinated by Aerosol d.o.o. from Ljubljana.

Climate is changing rapidly but we will be forced to do something when it is going to be to late.

Flying local with light aircraft over the Cyprus is sometimes difficult.

Another hot day above Cyprus.

Today early morning we flew first of the several measurements flights over Cyprus and Mediterranean.

After 1 night in Corfu, we were back to the airport early in the morning. The formalities were done very quickly. Flight to Larnaca went smooth. Here are some pictures. More info later.

Cyprus part of research of non anthropogenic pollution is on the way. Today we flew with Domen as a pilot to Corfu to take on Friday morning route to Larnaca / Cyprus, where we will meet with dr. Luka Drinovec.

Flight to Corfu - Greece today was perfect. The weather on the whole trip was good but with some of haze and some of buildups and isolated activity at the beginning.

Flying was demanding as we had to take-off and land fully loaded with instruments at short airfield Avinyonet with power lines on both sides.

We are very fortunate to be in the right time on the right place. Such climatic event happen only twice or three times per year over Barcelona.

An air pollution episode occurs when levels of atmospheric pollutants exceed the threshold values established by the European Union (EU) and become harmful to people's health.

The flight to Avinyonet, small airfield west of Barcelona was uneventful, we kept altitude at 8000 ft and saw almost nothing.

This time there are two of them.

Tomorrow, we are going to start measuring dust on the way to Spain in order to quantify the contributions of African dust to the daily levels of PM10 during the African episodes.

Griša called me on Saturday that the highest weather station in Austria located on 3106 m high Hoher Sonblick spoted Sahara dust so flight over this altitude would be ideal for testing all our research instruments.

This year's research campaign is very complex with number of new instruments on board which have to be placed on proper position in the aircraft due weight&balance calculation and additional weight.

This year GLWF team is participating in international project measuring non-anthropogenic particles over Cyprus and Barcelona

With our documentary film team (film director Amir Muratović, Lidija Honzak, filmmaker Rado Likon) we visited Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, Buddhist teacher and citizen of Nepal and Bhutan during his course in the mountains close to Crikvenica.
