Résumé
There is an ever increasing need for atmospheric measurements of greater spectral and spatial resolution as well as improved global coverage in order to better understand atmospheric processes in the context of climate change. Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy (SHS), a space technology that recently emerged, has the potential to meet this need.
This project aims to support Canadian participation in the assessment of the performance against the design parameters of a SHS for the measurement of atmospheric temperature from airglow, which will be launched on a satellite in the near future. It will build on solid Canadian expertise and skills in the use of this new capability in the future.

Description (French)
Il est de plus en plus nécessaire de mesurer la résolution spectrale et spatiale de l'atmosphère et d'améliorer la couverture mondiale afin de mieux comprendre les processus atmosphériques dans le contexte du changement climatique. La spectroscopie spatiale hétérodyne (SHS), une technologie spatiale récemment apparue, a le potentiel de répondre à ce besoin.
Ce projet vise à favoriser la participation du Canada à l'évaluation du rendement par rapport aux paramètres de conception d'un SHS pour la mesure de la température atmosphérique à partir de la lumière de l'air, qui sera lancé sur un satellite dans un proche avenir. Il s'appuiera sur la solide expertise et les compétences du Canada dans l'utilisation de cette nouvelle capacité à l'avenir.
