Our mission:
Our working group(WG) aims at informing and
activating people interested in utilizing remote sensing for
Atmosphere, Climate and Weather. Remote sensing technologies and
data/image analyses related on atmospheric chemical species, trace
gases, aerosols, clouds, climate change, and weather information
acquisition and forecast are the major subjects of this WG. This
WG covers not only data and image analysis but also development of
data processing/retrieval algorithms, and scientific
understandings. We are focused on promoting the goals of the WG as
expressed in its terms of reference by means of wide and various
activities and events and in co-operation with ISPRS, other
national and international academic societies.
Terms of Reference:
- Enhance
retrieving and monitoring status and effects of clouds and aerosols.
- Enhance
retrieving and monitoring status and effects of atmospheric greenhouse
gases, like carbon dioxide, methane, etc.
- Enhance
retrieving and monitoring capabilities of atmospheric minor constituents
and aerosols both in stratosphere and troposphere.
- Enhance
the monitoring capabilities of atmospheric winds.
- Increase
the accuracy of atmospheric radiative forcing to contribute to the
climate models.
- Increase
the knowledge of atmospheric processes to improve the climate models.
- Improve
the quality of remote sensing data input to numerical weather forecast
system to increase the accuracy of weather forecasting and nowcasting.
- Collaborate
with GEO and take part in GEO task where appropriate
