- Abstract:
- While there are many areas of science where ENVISAT data will be used, there are two areas where the main issue in using ENVISAT data is how to cope with the volumes of data involved: in the assimilation of atmospheric chemistry data into models, and the production of cloud climatologies. In both cases, it is desirable to start with the level 1-B products: the geolocated and calibrated instrument radiances, although many will be satisfied with level 2 data. The instruments involved are MERIS, MIPAS, SCIAMACHY and GOMOS. This proposal outlines an approach to make it possible for UK academic researchers to easily obtain and utilise such data (provided they have satisfied access criteria outlined below). It will be seen that this will only be possible by utilising additional funding from two thematic programmes: CWVC and UTLS, but that it will not be possible without the support of the EO enabling fund.
