Measuring co2 from space exploiting planned missions 2001-2004

Objective

To satisfy both scientific objectives and the political imperatives of climate negotiations, an integrated global observing system is required. We propose to develop and test algorithms to retrieve CO2 from satellite instruments. We will assess the accuracy and precision, and test the utility of the data for inferring surface CO2 exchange fluxes. Several instruments scheduled for deployment in the immediate future provide an opportunity to prototype the use of space-borne CO measurements. These instruments, IASI , SCIAMACHY and AIRS were not designed force measurements but as a result of their spectral characteristics provide capability, when used with independent measures of the temperature profile (from the microwave instrument AMSU). We will compare remote sensing and inverse approaches with approaches based on 4-dimensional data assimilation. Retrieved concentrations and fluxes will be evaluated against conventional observations.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
