Abstract:

In order to solve the specific problems generated by the turbulence phenomena on the human activities in the terrestrial environment this project is aimed at the development of emerging technologies to counteract effects induced by the turbulent flows. The complex project is divided into two complementary component projects. The first component project is dedicated to the study of the clear air turbulence while the second is aimed at designing new active control technologies to reduce vibrations.

Abstract:

The STRATUS project is designed to meet EU efforts to calibrate and validate ESA earth observation programs by providing the backbone to understand and study new satellite products and to make the first steps to perform complementary measurements for validation and calibration purposes. The main goal of the project is to offer the means to validate and calibrate satellite observations by offering a wide range of ground based unbiased atmospheric products over extended time scales and monitor the stability of satellite products over the envisaged locations. The implementation of the project will help strengthening the know how in satellite validation and help build the required infrastructure to further participate to cal/val activities lead by ESA or the EU.

SAtellite based Monitoring Initiative for Regional Air quality Call name:
ESA/RFQ/3-14446/16/I-NB -

Role in this project: Partner team leader

Coordinating institution: Norwegian Institute of Air Research

Abstract:

SAMIRA (SAtellite based Monitoring Initiative for Regional Air quality) is a project funded by the European Space Agency and coordinate by NILU – Norwegian Institute for Air Research. The overall goal of SAMIRA is to improve regional and local air quality monitoring through synergetic use of data from present and upcoming satellites, traditionally used in situ air quality monitoring networks and output from chemical transport models. Through collaborative efforts in four countries (Poland, Romania, The Czech Republic, and Norway) with different, but pressing air quality problems, SAMIRA aims to support the selected institutions and associated users in their national monitoring obligations as well as to generate novel research in this area.

Intelligent Software for Aerosol typing Based on Earth observation products, remote sensing measurements and transport modelLing Call name:

Abstract:

The purpose of the project is to develop a state of the art aerosol-typing software prototype based on the classification intelligent algorithms using data from active and passive remote sensing instruments together with satellite imagery and in situ data. The aerosols transport modelling will be also used to develop this software. Using remote sensing data, the dependence of the relative humidity of the aerosol size and density will be analysed and the in order to improve observations of aerosol optical and hygroscopic properties, hence, providing more accurate information on the type of aerosol in each aerosol layer from atmosphere. Combining numerical modelling with the remote sensing measurements the relationship between sources and receptors will be analysed in order to make a correlation between aerosol types and their sources, information important to aerosols classification.
