- Scientific research and monitoring campaigns [76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103] (28 records). These campaigns focus on data collection, scientific research, or measurements in areas such as climate change, air quality, or other natural phenomena.
- Communication and social impact campaigns (3 records) [113,114,115]. These campaigns focus on public discourse, cultural narratives, and social transformation related to climate change, sustainability, and environmental policies. They analyze the role of media, communication strategies, and ideological messaging in shaping public engagement and influencing perceptions of climate issues.
3.5. Meteorology Atmospheric Sciences
- Atmospheric measurement and observation campaigns [85,86,102,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123] (11 records). These studies focus on large-scale atmospheric observations to study weather patterns, air circulation, and interactions between land, ocean, and atmosphere. They often involve aircraft, satellite, or ground-based measurements to improve climate models and meteorological predictions.
- Climate communication and policy campaigns [49,56,78,99,134,135] (six records). These studies focus on public engagement, awareness, and policymaking related to climate change. They examine how people perceive climate risks, how clean energy initiatives can be framed for civic engagement, and how disaster preparedness campaigns can influence public behavior.
3.6. Science, Technology and Other Topics
- Sustainability and climate communication campaigns [26,70,108,136] (four records). These studies focus on the role of communication, public engagement, and digital tools in promoting sustainability, behavior change, and climate mitigation. They analyze how messaging, educational initiatives, and technological solutions can influence public perception and actions toward environmental sustainability.
- Political and social mobilization campaigns [137,138] (two records). These studies examine how campaigns drive political movements, grassroots activism, and public discourse on social and environmental issues. They explore the impact of mobilization efforts on policy, awareness, and societal change, often focusing on climate change or social justice topics.
- Experimental and technological field campaigns [63,139,140] (three records). These studies involve campaigns that test new technologies, tools, and methodologies in real-world settings. They focus on experimental approaches in environmental monitoring, sustainable infrastructure, and technological adoption to assess their effectiveness in practical applications.
