European Facility For Airborne Research

Invitation for #8th EUFAR Airborne Science Webinar: Atmosphere, organised by the EUFAR Thematic Group on Atmosphere

By ZAGAJEWSKI Bogdan

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming #8th EUFAR Airborne Science Webinar: Atmosphere, organised by the EUFAR Thematic Group on Atmosphere.

The Webinar emphasizes current research activities relying on airborne observations. If global models are currently built up based largely on satellite observations, the remaining uncertainties are linked with fine-scale processes which are beyond satellite capabilities. In the presentations, innovative techniques and observation strategies onboard aircraft, balloons and UAVs offer new insights for atmospheric monitoring and research in complement to ground-based observations, with a potential for interoperable instrumentation. In these presentations, remote sensing and in situ techniques provide high resolution observations of the atmosphere. The proposed observations fill the gap of atmospheric research, by providing valuable information about air quality and notably, the impact on human health, upper air dynamics and composition investigating processes driving the stratospheric composition impacting Earth at a global scale. Airborne observations onboard UAVs are also described as a good tool to collect high-quality atmospheric data for calibrating and validating satellite observations.

Webinar Topics:

• Ground based lidar profiling of atmosphere within ACTRIS and ATMO-ACCESS; Iwona Stachlewska (University of Warsaw, Poland), D. Szczepanik, L. Janicka + ACTRIS & ATMO-ACCESS.
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for satellite calibration and validation; Franco Marenco (The Cyprus Institute, Cyprus).
• Around the atmospheric world under a balloon: probing the stratosphere using an in situ instrument; Mélanie Ghysels (CNRS, France), S. Carbone, E. Riviere, G. Durry, N. Amarouche, F. Frérot, J.-Ch. Samake, A. Hertzog, R. Plougonven.
• Hot air balloon as a research platform for studying air pollutants in the urban atmosphere; Mariola Jabłońska (University of Silesia, Poland), J. Janeczek, I. Stachlewska, T. Kalinichenko, A. Rubin, A. Abramowicz, M. Szczyrba.
• GLORIA - Infrared limb imaging from aircraft and balloon with an outlook to space; Sören Johansson (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany), F. Friedl-Vallon, P. Preusse, T. Neubert, J. Ungermann, M. Höpfner + the GLORIA team.
