BC3 Seminar: Remote sensing of trace gases from ground and space based instruments

BC3 Seminars
Remote sensing of trace gases from ground and space based instruments

Abstract

Remote sensing of the atmosphere is an invaluable tool to understand the earth’s atmosphere. The talk gives an introduction to state of the remote sensing in the ultraviolet to the short wave infrared spectral region. Many key players of atmospheric chemistry can be measured, which includes e.g. O3, NO2, SO2, HONO, HCHO, Halogen compounds, Glyoxal, CO, CO2 and CH4. Applications are discussed at the example of measurements of volcanic plumes, Arctic bromine explosion and Ozone depletion events, as well as observation of greenhouse gases from space.

Lecturer

Dr. Leif Vogel

Short Vita
Dr. Vogel gained his PhD in 2011 at the Institute of Environmental Physics, Heidelberg, under the supervision of Prof. Platt, where he applied Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) to study trace gases in volcanic plumes and atmospheric halogen chemistry. In May 2013 he joined the Earth Observation Science Group at the Space Research Centre, University Leicester, UK, investigating greenhouse gases with satellite and ground based measurements in the NIR and SWIR spectral region. His main research interests are measurements of greenhouse gases and pollutants, radiative transfer and aerosols, algorithms for optical remote sensing and development of optical instruments for scientific and emissions monitoring purposes.
