Objectives
The science objectives of ATMOS-2018 are:
- Provide a forum to present scientific results from the exploitation of space-borne atmospheric missions and application projects
- Provide a platform for scientific exchange and to assess the state of the art of atmospheric applications
- Foster the scientific community in atmospheric research
- Present the Copernicus Sentinel-5P mission status, algorithms, and products
- Present the Aeolus mission status, algorithms, and products
- Discuss advances in activities regarding greenhouse gases
- Demonstrate the synergistic use of different atmospheric instruments
- Present large scale international initiatives to support the R&D activities relevant to Copernicus Sentinel-5P and promote synergy with other Copernicus Sentinels, Earth Explorers, and other missions
- Consult researchers to prepare exploitation elements supporting science activities for Copernicus Sentinel-5P and Aeolus
- Provide updates on development activities regarding future missions, e.g Copernicus Sentinel-4, Copernicus Sentinel-5, EarthCARE
- Discuss novel mission concepts
- Review and assess the progress according to the recommendations of the ESA 2015 Atmospheric Science Conference
- Provide a forum for scientists to formulate community recommendations
