The Hub Talks: Probing the urban atmosphere from ground: the BAQUNIN project

Speaker: Stefano Casadio ESA The Boundary-layer Air Quality analysis Using Network of INstruments (BAQUNIN) Atmospheric Composition monitoring and Cal/Val supersite (www.baqunin.eu), will be described with particular focus on the urban component. The BAQUNIN activities started on 2015 (ESA IDEAS+ WP), with increasing support from ESA and EUMETSAT in the following 10 years. The project consortium […]

The Hub Talks – The Science and Technology behind Spaceborne Doppler velocity measurements

Abstract: The Earth Cloud, Aerosol, and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) 94-GHz Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR), is the first spaceborne Doppler radar that provides coincident measurements of reflectivity and Doppler velocity, opening the path to quantifying vertical air motions and hydrometeor sedimentation velocities from space. The coming decade will feature several additional space-borne missions including the NASA-Investigation […]

The Hub Talks: Cloud radiative imbalance in global 3D radiative transfer simulations

Speaker: Giulia Roccetti is a visiting us in the Science Hub from 14th to 21st ofOctober. Giulia recently finished her PhD at the European Southern Observatoryand has started a research fellowship position at ESA/ESAC. There, she will useEarthCARE data, among other resources, to study how 3D cloud structure affectstheir radiative effect.Abstract: We use 3D cloud […]
