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 …

EO AfRIca ExplorerS – ARIES

Prime company: VISTA GEOWISSENSCHAFTLICHE FERNERKUNDUNG GMBH (DE)

Within “ARIES”  experimental EO analysis techniques will be developed and validated, addressing water resources management and food security matters. Those techniques,algorithms and prototype solutions will leverage a new generation of upcoming operational EO data: thermal and hyperspectral. In addition to established EO resources, especially Copernicus driven Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3, the intended ECOSTRESS and PRISMA data …

EO AFRICA RAngeland MONitoring for Africa using earth observation – RAMONA

Prime company: AARHUS UNIVERSITY (DK)

RAMONA aims for developing an innovative monitoring system for rangeland ecosystems in Africa at the continental scale and at 10m resolution. It will exploit the full data record provided by the Sentinels (primarily Sentinel-1 SAR, Sentinel-2 multi-spectral supported with Sentinel-3 multi-spectral), taking advantage of the synergies offered by SAR and multi-spectral observations. The activity will …

NOvel cOmputational methoDs for reLiablE SAteLlite-based Air quality Data (NOODLESALAD)

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

NOODLESALAD aims to develop computational methods for improving the satellite-based air quality estimates. More specific, it will concentrate on improving the air quality key indicator PM2.5, which is the dry mass concentration of fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers (micrograms per cubic meter of air). This activity will be …

Looking at aerosol properties in cloudy environments

Observing and understanding aerosol properties is fundamental for the remote sensing community, yet things get more complicated in cloudy environments. Pixels located in the transition zone between pure cloud and pure aerosol are often discarded by both aerosol and cloud algorithms, despite being essential for studying aerosol–cloud interactions, which still represent the largest source of …

Synergetic Retrieval from GROund based and SATellite measurements for surface characterization and validation (GROSAT)

Prime company: GRASP-SAS (FR)

Reflectance of the Earth surface is one of the natural major components affecting climate. Surface interaction with incoming solar radiation and the atmosphere has a substantial impact on the Earth’s energy budget. Moreover, the accurate description of the surface reflection is crucial for different atmospheric studies including aerosol and trace gases characterization.   One of …

ASSESSING CRYOSPHERE-BIOSPHERE LINKAGES WITH EARTH OBSERVATIONS IN NORTHERN HIGH LATITUDES (CRYOBIOLINKS)

Prime company: FINNISH ENVIRONMENT INSTITUTE (SYKE) (FI)

Climate warming in the northern high latitudes is twice as strong as the global average. Increasing surface temperatures drive significant changes in the cryosphere, reducing the snow mass and extent, seasonal frost and permafrost. Changes in the cryosphere are interconnected with changes in the biosphere, e.g. carbon uptake and release by vegetation and soil. These …
