Impact of 3D Cloud Structures on the Atmospheric Trace Gas Products From UV-Vis Sounders (3DCATS)

Prime company: NILU – NORWEGIAN INSTITUTE FOR AIR RESEARCH (NO)

In current atmospheric trace gas retrieval schemes exploiting UV-vis sounder data, clouds are treated in a simplistic way ignoring 3D structures and cloud shadows. In this activity, the impact of such cloud effects on trace gas products is quantified, building on statistical analyses of cloud observational data and on 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations …

Andreas Schneider

“The fellowship provided me the opportunity to develop the first TROPOMI HDO data product and the first such product including cloudy scenes.”   After the end of the Living Planet Fellowship, Andreas was at the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), working on the development of a a novel balloon-borne instrument for the measurement of HDO and …

Raincast – Scientific Evaluation of Future Atmospheric Mission Concepts to Monitor Precipitation

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER (GB)

The holistic understanding of the Earth’s water and energy cycle remains one of the grandchallenges that the international scientific community needs to address in the next decade.The Raincast project is a multi-platform and multi-sensor study to address the requirement from theresearch and operational communities for global precipitation measurements. Raincast aims atidentifying and consolidating the science …

PROMCOM: Production of lower tropospheric methane and carbon monoxide distributions through combined use of ESA Sentinel-5 Precursor shortwave infrared and IASI/CrIS thermal infrared satellite data

Prime company: UKRI Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (GB)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Diane Knappett. Global distributions of the methane (CH4) column average and carbon monoxide (CO) total column are observable by satellite shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectrometers through detection of surface-reflected solar radiation. Observations by ENVISAT SCIAMACHY and GOSAT-TANSO have been exploited extensively to investigate biogenic, pyrogenic and anthropogenic sources …

EOCYTES: Evaluation of the effect of Ozone on Crop Yields and the TErrestrial carbon pool using Satellite data

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER (GB)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Jasdeep Singh Anand. Terrestrial ecosystems are a major carbon pool, and so act to mitigate anthropogenic climate change. However, vegetation in these carbon pools are damaged by tropospheric O3, which is formed from anthropogenic NOx and aerosol emissions. Damaged vegetation cannot sequester as much carbon, so this …

WIFT: Water vapour Isotopologues From TROPOMI

Prime company: Netherlands Institute for Space Research (NWO-I) (NL)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Andreas Schneider. The role of atmospheric water vapour in the hydrological cycle, the atmospheric circulation, and the radiation and energy budgets is largely uncertain. Improving knowledge on these is one of the key challenges in atmospheric sciences and of great importance for projections of climate change. Measurements …

Sentinel-2 Atmospheric Correction

Prime company: ACRI-HE SAS (FR)

This project aims to develop and validate an atmospheric corrections scheme to produce high quality surface reflectance from Sentinel-2 data for coastal waters. The objective of this study is to develop, test, implement and validate methods (or combination of methods) for deriving atmospheric correction above coastal waters and over inland waters, to validate them according …

ATMOS 2018

November 26, 2018 - November 29, 2018

In the context of the EO Science for Society Programme Element, the European Space Agency is organising ATMOS-2018, a conference on the topical theme Atmosphere aimed at exploiting data from ESA and EO Missions for science and application development. The purpose of this conference is to provide scientists and data users with the opportunity to …

ESA Atmospheric Toolbox

The ESA Atmospheric Toolbox project is an open source software for scientific analysis of atmospheric EO data. The primary instruments supported by the toolbox are Tropomi (Sentinel-5P), Aeolus, GOME-2 (MetOp), and OMI (Aura). But the toolbox also supports model data such as CAMS and data from grounds based instruments such as provided by EVDC. The tool consists …

25 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry Symposium

September 24, 2018 - September 29, 2018
Teatro Micaelense – Cultural Center and Congress Hall, S.A., Largo de S. João
Ponta Delgada, Azores 9500-106 Portugal

Following on from the “15 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry” Symposium in 2006, and the “20 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry” Symposium in 2012, both deemed a very successful landmark by the participants and the readership of the Proceedings, we have now reached the 25-year anniversary of the first supply of ERS-1 and …
