Name ICAROHS
Title Inter-Comparison of Aerosol Retrievals and Observational Requirements for multi-wavelength HSRL Systems
Thematic Area Atmosphere
Cost 200 - 300 K
Action Line Novel Mission Concepts
Status Completed in 2011
Missions Future Mission
Sensors HSR Lidar
Objectives The purpose of this activity is the exploitation of novel multi-wavelength lidar technology and innovative retrieval methods and consolidation of the links between new observation technologies on ground / aircrafts and on future satellites. Currently High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) data is available to develop scientific algorithms for retrievals of aerosol optical properties and to develop the tools for future multi-wavelength space-borne HSRL instrumentation assessments. Furthermore the algorithms developed within this study can take advantage of the already existing ECSIM (EarthCARE Simulator) for implementation and testing. One of the main outputs from this activity are recommendations on future multi-wavelength HSRL missions and spin-off geophysical products that could potentially be derived considering the multi-wavelength capability of an HSRL instrument in a space-borne platform.
