项目摘要

The work proposed is to analyse and evaluate aircraft campaign data from instruments which are precursors for a proposed ESA mission called PREMIER. Context: In Feb'09, ESA PBEO approved ESAC's recommendation for Phase A study of three candidate missions including PREMIER. Final selection is currently planned for early 2011, on the basis of Reports for Assessment to be prepared in late 2010 by the Mission Advisory Groups and ESA. In this highly competitive procedure it will be essential for each mission to prepare its strongest possible scientific and technical case. Demonstration by airborne precursors of new observing capabilities of the candidate space missions will be one potentially important element. Campaigns in spring 2010 (RECONCILE, POLSTRACC) planned by the international science community and already supported by EU and other national funding provide a very timely opportunity for PREMIER. The benefit of leveraging the large sums to be invested by other agencies to deploy aircraft in these campaigns has been recognised by ESA, which will specifically fund the additional deployment of the precursor mm-wave limb-sounder, co-ordination with the precursor IR limb-sounder and established airborne IR limb-sounders and the processing of data to L1 (i.e. calibrated, geo-located radiance spectra). National funding has also been secured by German partners to contribute to analysis and evaluation of L1 data from IR sensors. Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study is to provide a significant contribution to the successful development of the PREMIER mission on behalf of the UK and the wider atmospheric science community. Specific objectives are: 1) Analysis of L1 data from the airborne precursor mm-wave limb sounder 2) UK contribution to analysis of L1 data from the airborne IR limb-sounders 3) SLIMCAT/TOMCAT model runs for comparison with airborne observations 4) Delivery of inputs to scientific and technical case for PREMIER for the ESA Report for Assessment in 2011 Potential Applications and Benefits: The programme proposed in this bid applies directly to NERC strategy, with focus on the Climate System scientific theme. It will demonstrate the ability to make high resolution measurements in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere region, the UTLS, a region of recognised high importance to climate. The project is aligned with the NCEO aims to exploit EO data, and of direct relevance to its Atmospheric Composition Theme by combining measurements from different instrument sources. It contributes to the development of EO techniques and world-leading research on climate change, supporting the research community integrated in the NCEO.

拟议的工作是分析和评估来自仪器的飞机活动数据，这些仪器是欧空局提议的 PREMIER 任务的前身。背景：2009 年 2 月，ESA PBEO 批准了 ESAC 对包括 PREMIER 在内的三个候选任务进行 A 期研究的建议。目前计划在 2011 年初根据任务咨询小组和欧空局将于 2010 年底准备的评估报告进行最终选拔。在这个竞争激烈的程序中，每个任务都必须准备最有力的科学和技术案例。机载先行者展示候选空间任务的新观测能力将是一个潜在的重要因素。 2010 年春季的活动（RECONCILE、POLSTRACC）由国际科学界策划并已得到欧盟和其他国家资金的支持，为 PREMIER 提供了一个非常及时的机会。欧空局已经认识到利用其他机构投资的大量资金在这些活动中部署飞机的好处，该机构将专门资助前驱毫米波临边探测器的额外部署，并与前驱红外临边进行协调- 发声器和已建立的机载红外临边发声器以及 L1 数据处理（即校准的地理定位辐射光谱）。德国合作伙伴还获得了国家资金，用于分析和评估红外传感器的 L1 数据。目的和目标：这项研究的目的是代表英国和更广泛的大气科学界为 PREMIER 任务的成功发展做出重大贡献。具体目标是： 1) 分析机载前兆毫米波临边探测器的 L1 数据 2) 英国对机载红外临边探测器 L1 数据分析的贡献 3) 运行 SLIMCAT/TOMCAT 模型以与机载观测结果进行比较 4) 交付2011 年 ESA 评估报告中向 PREMIER 提供的科学和技术案例的投入潜在应用和效益：本次投标中提出的计划直接适用于 NERC 战略，重点是气候系统科学主题。它将展示在对流层上层/平流层下层区域（UTLS）进行高分辨率测量的能力，该区域被认为对气候具有高度重要性。该项目与 NCEO 的目标一致，即通过结合不同仪器来源的测量结果来利用 EO 数据，并与其大气成分主题直接相关。它为 EO 技术的发展和世界领先的气候变化研究做出贡献，支持纳入 NCEO 的研究社区。
