The brand-new instrument GLORIA-Lite, developed by the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research (IMKASF) at KIT in close collaboration with the institutes ICE4 and ZEA2 at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) was launched on board a large stratospheric balloon by a team of the Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES) from the European Space and Sounding Rocket Range (ESRANGE, Swedish Space...
Atmospheric dynamics are composed largely of atmospheric circulations of different scales. One such circulation is the mesospheric pole-to-pole circulation, which gives rise to the intriguing phenomenon whereby the polar summer mesosphere, despite receiving 24 hours of sunlight, is the coldest region in the atmosphere. Circulations in general are governed by atmospheric waves, which again come...
Technological advances have led to the wide-spread adoption of Unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAV) as versatile platforms for a range of sensors in the domain of remote sensing. In particular, observation opportunities of the Earth's surface have multiplied. The field has already seen some specialisation into small, easy-to-use, off-the-shelf solutions versus heavier, high-end platforms and...
Since 2019, several countries and agencies have successfully launched a number of spaceborne imaging spectroscopy systems in orbit or on the International Space Station (ISS) such as DESIS, PRISMA, HISUI, GF-5, EnMAP and EMIT. Among these recent missions, the German Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) stands for its long-term development, sophisticated design with on-board...
Spaceborne imaging spectroscopy has made significant progress over the last years, with missions such as DESIS, PRISMA, HISUI, EnMAP and EMIT providing a wealth of hyperspectral data for geoscientific applications. In this field, DLR has developed and is operating the ground segments for the partially commercial DESIS mission on the ISS, and the German EnMAP mission. This includes the...
