INVESTIGATING LIGHTNING GENERATED ELF WHISTLERS TO IMPROVE IONOSPHERIC MODELS (ILGEW)

Prime company: INST PHYSIQUE GLOBE (FR)

Some of the strongest lightning discharges occurring at the Earth surface generate short electromagnetic signals that can propagate at very large distances both at the surface of the planet and in space. During a lightning discharge, the whole electromagnetic spectrum is excited, from radio frequencies to the visible and beyond. The conditions of the atmosphere …

First TROPOMI-based emission estimates over South America

South America is a rapidly developing continent of planetary importance. It hosts the Amazon forest, which is the single largest source of biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions into the global atmosphere; it is also a region where extremely violent and extensive wildfires are known to cause widespread damages and fatalities. In addition, the degradation …

First data set of H2O/HDO columns from the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI)

A new dataset of vertical column densities of H2O and HDO retrieved from short-wave infrared reflectance measurements by the TROPOMI instrument onboard the Sentinel-5p satellite was recently released. The data quality shows improvements in noise level compared to previous missions like SCIAMACHY. The retrieval methodology, the validation approach and demonstrative applications of the dataset are …

SENTINEL-5P+ INNOVATION – AEROSOL OPTICAL DEPTH (AOD) AND BIDIRECTIONAL REFLECTANCE DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION (BRDF)

Prime company: GRASP-SAS (FR)

The capability of Sentinel-5p for aerosol monitoring is currently not used to its full potential. However, satellite observations in the spectral range of approximately 340 – 400 nm are known to have unique sensitivity to elevation and absorption of tropospheric aerosols. Traditionally, this sensitivity is used in many ozone monitoring instruments such as TOMS, GOME-1, …
