Oral

The proposed satellite mission CAIRT (Changing-Atmosphere Infra-Red Tomography Explorer), an ESA Earth Explorer 11 candidate, is an instrument capable of measuring trace gas concentrations and temperature throughout the Middle Atmosphere. The aim is to observe the altitude range of about 5 to 115 km at a 1 km vertical sampling across a swath width of about 400 km using a limb-viewing...

2. First flight - first light: the new limb-imaging FTIR instrument GLORIA-Lite measures across the Atlantic

Michael Höpfner (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology IMKASF)

16/10/2024, 13:40

Oral

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...

8. INSPIRE Sat 3 AtmoLITE - measuring gravity waves from a Microsat

Gregor Gemba (Forschungszentrum Jülich, ICE-4)

Oral

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...

20. UAV remote sensing at GFZ Section Remote Sensing and Geo-informatics

Benjamin Brede (GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences)

16/10/2024, 14:00

Oral

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...

22. The EnMAP hyperspectral satellite mission: initial science results two years after launch

Dr Robert Milewski (Helmholtz Center Potsdam GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences)

16/10/2024, 14:10

Oral

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...

6. Application and collaboration opportunities within EnMAP

Dr Sabine Baumann

16/10/2024, 14:20

Oral

The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) is a German spaceborne imaging spectroscopy mission aimed at providing accurate information on the state and evolution of ecosystems, their response to human activities and the management of natural resources. Since November 2022, nearly 3000 scientific users from over 90 countries have registered for receiving data. Users feedback, as...

3. An Update on the Ground Segments of the Hyperspectral DESIS and EnMAP Missions

Dr Martin Bachmann (DLR German Aerospace Center)

16/10/2024, 14:30

Oral

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...

9. Investigating Low-Level Clouds and Fog with the Karlsruhe Low Cloud Exploratory Platform (KLOCX)

Jutta Vuellers

16/10/2024, 14:40

Oral

As part of the Aerosol, Clouds, and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS),
KLOCX operates as a fully mobile, ground-based observation system. It employs a suite of in-situ and remote sensing instruments to study the formation, persistence, and dissipation of low-level clouds and fog. These atmospheric phenomena significantly influence the Earth's climate by reflecting solar radiation...
