Improved estimates of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions through multi-species and multi-sensor chemical data assimilation
FY 2016-17 · 2017-03-30
Summary
Improved estimates of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions through multi-species and multi-sensor chemical data assimilation
Over the past two decades space agencies around the world have made considerable investments in satellite instruments to measure the changing composition of the atmosphere. We now have a broad range of space-based measurements of atmospheric composition. This project will integrate observations from different satellite instruments to better quantify surface emissions of CO and NOx, which are harmful atmospheric contaminants. Atmospheric CO and NOx are also precursors of tropospheric ozone (O3), which is a harmful pollutant and a powerful greenhouse gas.

Description (French)
Amélioration des estimations des émissions d'oxydes d'azote (NOx) et de monoxyde de carbone (CO) par l'assimilation des données acquises avec divers capteurs sur la composition chimique de multiples éléments
Au cours des vingt dernières années, les agences spatiales du monde entier ont effectué d'importants investissements dans les instruments satellitaires servant à mesurer la modification de la composition de l'atmosphère. Nous disposons maintenant d'un large éventail de mesures par satellite concernant la composition de l'atmosphère. Ce projet vise à réunir les observations provenant de différents instruments satellitaires afin de mieux quantifier les émissions en surface de CO et de NOx, des contaminants atmosphériques nocifs. Le CO et le NOx sont aussi des précurseurs de l'ozone troposphérique (O3), un polluant nocif et un puissant gaz à effet de serre.
Expected Results
-Increased knowledge from research projects in priority space S&T areas (number of new and ongoing space science and technology initiatives and projects);
-Number of completed space science and technology initiatives (Announcement of Opportunity);
-Number of highly qualified personnel (HQP) taking part in space science and technology initiatives and projects.
Expected Results (French)
-Des connaissances accrues grâce à des projets de recherche dans les domaines prioritaires en sciences et technologies spatiales (nombre de projets et initiatives décernées et en cours);
-Nombre d'initiatives en sciences et technologies spatiales complétées (AO);
-Nombre de personnes hautement qualifiées (PHQ) prenant part à des projets en sciences et technologies spatiales.
