EARLINET/ACTRIS organized an intensive observational campaign in May 2020, with the objective of monitoring the atmospheric state over Europe during the COVID-19 lockdown and relaxation period. The work presented herein focuses on deriving a common methodology for applying a synergistic retrieval that utilizes the network's ground-based passive and active remote sensing measurements and deriving the aerosols from anthropogenic activities over Europe.

For the first time, rather clear evidence is found that wildfire smoke particles can trigger strong cirrus formation. This finding is of importance because intensive and large wildfires may occur increasingly often in the future as climate change proceeds. Based on lidar observations in Cyprus in autumn 2020, we provide detailed insight into the cirrus formation at the tropopause in the presence of aged wildfire smoke (here, 8–9 day old Californian wildfire smoke).

The paper examines a machine learning algorithm (Random Forests) in comparison with Multivariate Linear Regression, for a data-set of 3500 transactions of residential apartments in Nicosia District in Cyprus. The methodology suggested, indicated high accuracy of the Random Forests Method, that can be applied in automated valuation models and CAMA systems.

Field spectroscopy has been used, in order to study possible differences in the spectral signatures of vegetation so to be used for the systematic monitoring of military landscapes that comprise underground military structures. In this paper, underground military structures over vegetated areas were monitored, using both ground and satellite remote sensing data. Several ground measurements have been carried out in military areas, throughout the phenological cycle of plant growth.

The scientific objective is to find a simple understandable model linking human smart characteristics to a group of socio-demographic and urban environment indices, applied to the case of Limassol Urban Complex, Cyprus. The results reveal that the human smart characteristics are significantly correlated with demographic dynamics and built infrastructure characteristics. For instance creativity and open-mindedness appear in most densely urban areas.

Short summary
Freely and open distributed optical satellite images used to obtain bathymetric data for shallow waters based on timeseries analysis of multispectral Sentinel-2 datasets. The ratio transform algorithm was implemented for twelve monthly images covering a year. Bathymetric maps were generated and compared with LIDAR measurements. The results showed that bathymetry can be obtained from satellite data within a Root Mean Square Error while more accurate results were generated during the summer.
