Space applications
The group develops and participates in the development of LIDAR space missions for the global measurement of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere.
The group is particularly involved in the Franco-German LIDAR CH4 mission MERLIN. développé au LMD. ajouter du texte ici...Aliquam volutpat eros a odio sagittis rhoncus. Morbi arcu felis, placerat nec porttitor sit amet, tincidunt at tellus.
Instrumental research
The group is developing innovative LIDAR instrumentation for 3D observation of the wind, temperature, H2O and CO2 fields in the atmosphere.
The COWI LIDARS (CO2 & Wind) and TERA (Temperature Raman) are the key instruments of the LIDAR mobile observatory developed at LMD. ajouter du texte ici...Aliquam volutpat eros a odio sagittis rhoncus. Morbi arcu felis, placerat nec porttitor sit amet, tincidunt at tellus.
Fondamental research
The studies concern generally greenhouse gases and the dynamics of the atmosphere.
The specific points addressed are: the understanding of surface-atmosphere and intra-atmosphere exchanges of key variables (wind, temperature, H2O, CO2), spatio-temporal heterogeneity of CO2 concentrations and fluxes, verification of inventories of anthropogenic emissions in the context of global warming.
