In many ways the large inflatable arenas that are commonly used in football are more resembling outdoor conditions than indoor duet to their size, volume, and effective ventilation. However, in Covid-regulations these are considered indoor areas and thus regulations for number of people using these facilities are very tight. Also, football is a contact game […]
At present, better understanding of various interactions and feedbacks between Earth surface and atmosphere is required to improve climate related predictions and mitigation plans. Foremost, if the global CO2 emissions continue increasing at the current rate, we will have, within 40 years, atmospheric CO2 concentration over 500 ppm (www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/). This value can be considered to

Mikko Sipilä’s research focuses on the formation of atmospheric particles. Studying the first steps of atmospheric particle formation is challenging in terms of measurement technology, and the development of measurement techniques is a cross-cutting feature of Sipilä’s work. Sipilä is a leading developer of measurement equipment in his field. “Let research run its full course
