Towards a UK TCCON site

dome_sunny_dayIn collaboration with the University of Leicester and Edinburgh, the group is developing a ground based remote sensing facility for high resolution solar occultation spectroscopy of the atmosphere. The facility intends to seek accreditation to become part of the international Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) and potentially the international Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC).

This development is supported by the NERC National Centre for Earth Observation.

Who we are

The Spectroscopy Group of RAL Space carries out R&D on novel concepts and instruments for high-precision laser-based hyperspectral sensing, aiming to pioneer the development of the next generation of sensing systems needed for the demanding applications of atmospheric, space sciences, and beyond. It also offers a unique high resolution Fourier Transform facility to support many areas of science.
