Project Abstract

The ability to predict the future behaviour of our atmosphere from hours to decades bears great benefits for society and the economy through, for example, short-term public warnings or long-term evaluation and mitigation of climate change and testing policy effectiveness. Atmospheric predictions use complex models that are based on observations and a sound understanding of the interactions between atmospheric constituents and their environment. Measurements of reliable data, which require the most sophisticated gas sensing technologies, are essential. This project aims at the development of cutting-edge optical sensing technology to produce unique datasets for better simulations and predictions of atmospheric scenarios.
