The Boundary-layer Air Quality-analysis Using Network of Instruments (#BAQUNIN) Super-Site for Satellite Atmospheric Chemistry Products Validation. #ESA project
Greetings from Nanjing! 🇨🇳
The BAQUNIN team is attending #IC2UHI2026, the 7th International Conference on Countermeasures to Urban Heat Islands, where Annalisa Di Bernardino is presenting two contributions on the BAQUNIN supersite and its research on the urban atmosphere.
Rome Marathon turns into an open-air lab 🌍🏃♂️
Within the BAQUNIN project (ESA/EUMETSAT), a network of fixed and mobile sensors monitored air quality across the race route in real time to support athlete health and performance.

Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Rome Marathon 🏃♂️, the @BaquninProject team monitored air quality along the 5 km “Stracittadina” route between the Colosseum and Circus Maximus using wearable sensors. PM and CO₂ data coming soon 📊 #AirQuality#BAQUNIN
On 25th February 2026 we installed HATPRO (Humidity And Temperature PROfiler), a microwave radiometer for the retrieval of atmospheric temperature and humidity. For the first time, high-precision, continuous vertical atmospheric profiling is available in the city of Rome! 🌍📡
🚀 Great news from BAQUNIN! A new air quality monitoring PM station EDM280 is now installed and operative, strengthening our local data coverage and supporting environmental assessments. 📍🌍
At the VH-RODA 2025 poster session:
L. Veltri Gomes (@BaquninProject) presenting “The Boundary-layer Air Quality-analysis Using Network of INstruments (BAQUNIN) supersite for Atmospheric Composition Research and Satellite Validation”.
Great work showcased today.

BAQUNIN expands north! 🌍
New #Pandora instruments are now operating in Milan-Bicocca and Aosta (ARPA VdA), with another soon in San Pietro Capofiume (CNR-ISAC).
These sites will investigate #NO2 and air pollution across the Po Valley, one of Europe’s air quality hotspots.
Annalisa Di Bernardino of the @BaquninProject team is attending the 12th International Conference on Urban Climate which is being held in Rotterdam (Netherlands 🇳🇱) from 7 to 11 July 2025 with a speech and a poster!
