European High Spectral Resolution Lidar airborne facility - the new ESA contract at IGFUW
There are a number of cross-cutting issues relevant for all ESA atmospheric missions (e.g. ADM/Aeolus, EarthCARE and Sentinel-3/-4/-5/-5p) which can only be addressed through suitable airborne measurements. This holds also for future EO mission concepts such as the EE8 mission candidates CarbonSat and FLEX which include products related to atmospheric aerosols.
To be effective and accurate, these products rely on independent airborne measurements to develop and test the retrieval methods, and validate mission products following launch.
The aim of MULTIPLY project is to develop a novel multi-wavelength HSRL system (3beta + 2alpha + 3sigma) for airborne operation, capable of retrieving the aerosol extinction, backscatter and depolarization profile distributions. It will operate at three wavelengths and collect independently the Mie and Rayleigh signals at 532nm and 355nm, and total (Mie + Rayleigh) signal at 1064 nm, in both parallel and cross polarization.
The activities are carried out by the prime-contractor, National Institute of Research and Development for Optoelectronics (INOE), and five contractors: Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), National Observatory of Athens (IAASARS/NOA), University of Warsaw, Faculty of Physics, Institute of Geophysics (UW), National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR), and National Institute for Aerospace Research “Elie Carafoli” (INCAS).
