EF 2016-17 · 2016-04-01

Résumé
This project will extend the Environment Canada Carbon Assimilation System (EC-CAS) to assimilate CO observations from the Measurement Of Pollution In The Troposphere (MOPITT) satellite instrument. The measurements will be used to better quantify the potential impact of model errors on the CO source estimates and thus reduce the uncertainty on the regional source estimates. This will allow the Canadian Space Agency to use space-based solutions to assist Government of Canada organizations in delivering their mandate in environmental monitoring.

Description (French)
Ce projet permettra d'étendre le Système d'assimilation du carbone d'Environnement Canada (EC-CAS) avec les mesures de monoxyde de carbone (CO) en provenance de l'instrument satellitaire « Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere » (MOPITT). Ces observations seront utilisées pour mieux quantifier l'impact potentiel des erreurs dans les modèles d'estimation de sources de CO, réduisant ainsi l'incertitude des estimations régionales. Le projet permettra à l'Agence spatiale canadienne de proposer une solution spatiale à un organisme du Gouvernement du Canada pour les aider à livrer leur mandat de surveillance de l'environnement.
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) and proj
Expected Results (French)
-Des connaissances accrues grâce à des projets de recherche dans les domaines prioritaires en science et technologie spatiale (nombre de projets et initiatives décernées et en cours, nombre de personnes hautement qualifiées (PHQ) prenant part à des projet

Program Name (French)
Programme global de subventions et contributions à l'appui de la recherche, de la sensibilisation et de l'éducation en sciences et technologies spatiales
Program Purpose
This program supports knowledge development and innovation in the CSA's priority areas while increasing the awareness and participation of Canadians in space-related disciplines and activities. The Research Component aims to support the development of science and technology; foster the continual development of a critical mass of researchers and highly qualified people in Canada; and support information gathering and space-related studies and research pertaining to Canadian Space Agency priorities.
Program Purpose (French)
Ce programme appuie le développement des connaissances et l'innovation dans des domaines prioritaires de l'ASC et accroît la sensibilisation et la participation des Canadiens aux disciplines et aux activités liées à l'espace. Le volet Recherche vise à soutenir le développement des sciences et des technologies, à favoriser le développement continu d'une masse critique de chercheurs et de personnes hautement qualifiées au Canada, et à appuyer la collecte d'information, la recherche et les études relatives à l'espace en tenant compte des priorités de l'ASC.
