AEOLUS+ INNOVATION – OCEAN SURFACE WIND FROM AEOLUS SEA SURFACE RETURNS (SEA-FLECT)

Prime company: Verisk Analytics GmbH (DE)

Welcome to the SEA-FLECT project page. The winds from Aeolus lidar SEA surface reFLECTance (SEA-FLECT) aims to demonstrate the potential of the Aeolus observations for monitoring of sea surface winds. This project is funded by ESA under the Aeolus + Innovation project. Objective The objectives of the Aeolus Ocean Surface Wind project are to Demonstrate if the Aeolus observations can be …

Water vapour Isotopologue Flask sampling for the Validation Of Satellite data (WIFVOS)

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

Atmospheric moisture strongly controls Earth’s radiative budget and transports energy through latent heat. Uncertainties in the atmospheric moisture transport pathways have large effects on climate modelling and prediction. Isotopologues of water offer further insights into the water cycle due to fractionation processes on phase changes. High-quality measurements of the vertical distribution of water vapour  isotopologues …

11th ESA Training on Earth Observation 2021 (online)

March 22, 2021 - March 26, 2021

The European Space Agency (ESA) in cooperation with the Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST) organised a Training Course on Earth Observation, that took place online from 22-26 March 2021. The main aim of this course was to promote and disseminate Earth Observation (EO) technologies in various scientific and industrial fields, covering optical and …

Harmonizing and advancing retrieval approaches for present and future polarimetric space-borne atmospheric missions (HARPOL)

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

Atmospheric aerosol particles strongly influence climate by scattering and absorbing light (direct forcing) and by changing cloud properties (indirect forcing). The corresponding radiative forcing represents one of the most uncertain radiative forcing terms as reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). To improve our understanding of the effect of aerosols on climate and …

AEOLUS+ INNOVATION – LIDAR MEASUREMENTS TO IDENTIFY STREAMERS AND ANALYZE ATMOSPHERIC WAVES (LISA)

Prime company: DLR – GERMAN AEROSPACE CENTER (DE)

For a better comprehension of climate change it is fundamentally important how well we understand the general condition (dynamics and chemistry) in the atmosphere. Aeolus wind measurements enable for the first time the derivation of atmospheric wave structures on different temporal and spatial scales and wind gradients in particular above the oceans, where wind measurements …

RUS webinar: Monitoring Volcanic Emissions with Sentinel-5P

February 25, 2021 @ 14:30 - 16:00 UTC+1

This webinar will exploit Senitnel-5p data to map the SO2 concentrations originated during a volcanic eruption in Volcan de Fuego, Guatemala. The analysis will be implemented using Python code run in a Jupyter Notebook. Basic python programming skills are recommended although the exercise DOES NOT require any Python programming skills and can be followed by …

AEOLUS+ INNOVATION – IMPROVING DUST MONITORING AND FORECASTING THROUGH AEOLUS WIND DATA ASSIMILATION (NEWTON)

Prime company: NATIONAL OBSERVATORY OF ATHENS (GR)

Windblown dust plays a key role in the Earth system, affecting climate, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, anthropogenic activities as well as humans’ health. Winds, acting as the main driving force of dust emission determine also the spatiotemporal evolution of dust plumes during transport. The proposed study, entitled NEWTON, aims to demonstrate the potential improvement of …

CLIMATE DATA RECORD OF STRATOSPHERIC AEROSOLS (CREST)

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

Stratospheric aerosols impact the radiative forcing and thus the energy balance of the Earth’s atmosphere, therefore information about their distribution and variability is of high importance for climate related studies.  The main scientific objective of the project CREST is creating a new merged long-term time series of the vertically resolved aerosol extinction coefficients using data …

Second joint training course on Atmospheric Composition 2020

November 16, 2020 - November 20, 2020

From 16 – 20 November 2020, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) with the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) have organised the second joint training course on Atmospheric Composition with a focus on air quality and data interoperability. The …

Stratospheric ozone from limb observations: validation of the profiles, evaluation of trends and their dynamical and chemical drivers (SOLVE)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF BREMEN (DE)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Carlo Arosio. The stratospheric ozone layer suffered a significant decline at the end of the 20th century as a consequence of anthropogenic emissions of halogenated substances. An ozone recovery has been predicted for the current century in response to the actions taken under the Montreal Protocol and …
