The Earth Observation Science group, based in the Space Research Centre at the University of Leicester is an internationally recognised multi-disciplinary team dedicated to research into many aspects of remote sensing, atmospheric and Earth surface science.
Group research: - AATSR - a space-borne instrument primarily designed to measure global Sea Surface Temperature (SST) to the high levels of accuracy and stability required for climate research and modelling. - MIPAS - The Michaelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) is a Fourier transform infra-red spectrometer capable of retrieving atmospheric parameters and profiles of dozens of trace species in the IR. - SCIAMACHY - - The Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric CHartographY, is an imaging spectrometer whose primary mission objective are global measurements of trace gases in the troposphere and in the stratosphere. Using innovative techniques carbon dioxide concentrations are being retrieved from this instrument. - MOPITT - an instrument flying on NASA's EOS Terra spacecraft, measuring the global distributions of carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4) in the troposphere. - GERB - measures top of the atmosphere (TOA) total flux derived from the measured total irradiance. These measurements of the earth radiation budget assist in global climate modelling. - MAX-DOAS - multi-axis measurements of trace species concentrations from a ground-based instrument, proving technologies and techniques for future space missions. - IASI - A mission studying the Atmosphere, the Land and the Oceans. For an accurate and reliable weather forecast. - The Centre for Earth Observation Instrumentation The EOS group is part of a consortium of organisations that make up NERC's Centre for Earth Observation Instrumentation, with particular projects on novel concentric UV/VIS spectrometer designs, CO2 LIDAR concepts, and Challenge Workshops |
