OPTICAL REMOTE SENSING PAYLOADOPTICAL REMOTE SENSING PAYLOAD • Ground based platform easily transportable
• All sky monitoring capability (but not precipitation reaching the ground !)
• Lidar-radiometry Synergism
• Mini-Lidar (designed & built in house using off the shelf components)
– 3 elastic back. channels: 2 x 532 nm (total + ), 1064 nm,
– One Raman back. channel: 607 nm, at night (day ?)
• Sunphotometer (AERONET/PHOTON) 8 channels: 340, 380, 440, 500, 670, 870, 936 & 1020 nm
• Pyranometer
• IR radiometer (day/night): 9.5 – 11.5 µm, 2° FOV
• Optical Depth Sensor (day/moon)
• Web Cam: monitoring clear or cloudy sky, cloud track wind

OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES
• Science Objectives– ABL dynamics, Aerosols life cycle and cloud interaction, cirrus
life cycle, aerosols & clouds Radiative properties, …
– AMMA in 2006 (African Monsoon)
– Calipso & A-Train Validation
• Requirements– All sky monitoring capability (but no precipitation …)
– Turn key operation, Hands-off operation
– Real time monitoring (on going)
– Easy caring and low cost operation
– Easy to transport for field experiments
– High time resolution: 10 sec averaging (or 200 shots) about 50 m

20’sea containerAdverse & bad weather condition Light Mobile Platform
Fair & friendly weather condition
2 min to put up or down the mobile platform equipped with TReSS remote sensors
Truck loaded with Mobile Platform ready to go
A dedicated hard wall mobile platform is under purchase to be available for the CALIPSO validation in France mid 2005
Truck and driver to be provided by École PolytechniqueBut rental trucks are available in case of schedule conflict

« TReSS » LEVEL 1 & 2 PRODUCTS« TReSS » LEVEL 1 & 2 PRODUCTS
Mini-Lidar– Apparent Backscatter (normalized)– Depolarization ratio– Color Ratio– Cloud and Aerosol mask– Scene classification
Radiometers– Aerosol Optical Thickness (Visible and near IR)– Solar Flux (Direct + Diffuse) / Shortwave atmospheric transmission– IR effective Radiance / Brightness temperature
Synergism – Cloud & aerosols back.-to-extinction ratio– more, operational algos under development by Juan Cuesta…
