CASSAVA:PEARL (Canadian Anchor Sites for SAtellite Validation: Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory
FY 2020-21 · 2020-09-22
Summary
The purpose of CASSAVA:PEARL project is to use the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL), a virtual space station on the ground, to provide the next generation of atmospheric scientists with unique training experiences that will equip them with the skills required to keep Canada at the forefront of space research.
The scientific objectives of this project extend from the development of techniques for remote operation and automation of instruments, through improved data analysis methodologies, to the use of PEARL measurements of atmospheric composition, aerosols, and clouds to validate satellite data products. Benefits for Canada will include new expertise in atmospheric measurement techniques and enhanced atmospheric measurement capabilities in the High Arctic.

Description (French)
L'objectif du projet CASSAVA : PEARL consiste à utiliser le Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL), une station spatiale virtuelle au sol, afin d'offrir à la prochaine génération de scientifiques spécialistes de l'atmosphère des expériences de formation uniques qui leur permettront d'acquérir les compétences nécessaires pour maintenir le Canada à l'avant-garde de la recherche spatiale.
Les objectifs scientifiques de ce projet vont du développement de techniques pour l'exploitation à distance et l'automatisation des instruments, en améliorant les méthodes d'analyse des données, à l'utilisation des mesures de composition atmosphérique, des aérosols et des nuages de PEARL pour valider les produits de données satellitaires. Les avantages pour le Canada comprennent une nouvelle expertise dans les techniques de mesure atmosphérique et une amélioration des capacités de mesure atmosphérique dans le Haut-Arctique.
Expected Results
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
Expected Results (French)
Le volet Recherche du programme offre aux organisations une aide financière qui leur permettra de mener leurs activités de recherche et développement spatiales dans des secteurs prioritaires. Ce volet appuiera le développement des connaissances et l’innovation dans les domaines ciblés de manière à soutenir et à accroître la capacité du Canada d’utiliser l’espace pour répondre aux besoins et aux priorités du pays dans le futur.
