Synergetic retrieval from multi-mission space-borne measurements for enhancement of aerosol characterization (SYREMIS)

Prime company: GRASP-SAS (FR)

Atmospheric aerosol is one of the main drivers of climate changes. Importance of accurate global aerosol characterization for climate studies and air pollution monitoring is a well recognized problem (e.g., see IPCC AR5 by Boucher et al.2013). In addition to the traditional spectral Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) such characterization should also include such extended aerosol …

Taking the dazzle out of CryoSat yields a first

A paper published in Nature describes a new approach for removing the pesky problem of dazzle from surface meltwater to yield the first ever continuous, year-round, altimetry measurements of sea-ice thickness in the Arctic Ocean. Artificial intelligence techniques have been applied to CryoSat data in the Arctic to distinguish, during the summer period, the melting …
