164 – Satellite-based Earth Observation
Rate/Vote |
Guest: Ruud Hoogeveen Host: Markus Voelter Shownoter: Stefaan Rillaert
This episode is a conversation with Ruud Hoogeveen from the Netherlands Institute for Space Research about satellite-based Earth observation, and primarily about measuring the concentration of gases such as CO2 or Ozone from space. We talk about the effects of these gases on the atmosphere, how the sensors work in principle, and about the history and evolution of the sensors over the various missions. We conclude with a look on detecting and measuring aerosols and at the future challenges and current research for satellite-based earth observation.

No link for TROPOMI :(
The TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) is a spaceborne nadir viewing spectrometer with bands in the ultraviolet, the visible, the near infrared and the shortwave infrared. TROPOMI is the payload for the ESA/GMES Sentinel 5 Precursor mission and working on the instrument (which right now now is going through on-ground calibration at a facility in Belgium) is quite high up on the list of activities at SRON.

Thanks. No idea how that slipped through. I’ve added the links
Very good episode!

Is this the first hint to the coming of a new media alliance between Omega tau and the TAZ? ;)
Absolut. Zwei Mediengiganten, zusammen unschlagbar :-) Ist gefixt, Danke.
