[U-04_29AM2] Frontiers of Atmospheric Science: Airborne Research of Earth Science

Tue. Apr 29, 2014 11:00 AM - 12:45 PM 211 (2F)

Convener:*Makoto Koike(Department of Earth and Planetary Science, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo), Yutaka Kondo(Department of Earth and Planetary Science Graduate School of Science The University of Tokyo), Hiroshi Niino(Dynamic Marine Meteorology Group, Department of Physical Oceanography, Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute,The University of Tokyo), Masaki Satoh(Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, The University of Tokyo), Chair:Makoto Koike(Department of Earth and Planetary Science, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo)

In order to advance the atmospheric science and other Earth science fields, it is crucial to establish the Earth observation system by introducing a dedicated aircraft in addition to ground-based and satellite measurement systems. Aircraft measurements can cover the whole troposphere and have advantages in the measurements of wide range of parameters, precision/accuracy, and temporal/spatial resolutions. A goal of this session is to discuss the important results obtained in previous aircraft experiments and expected results in the future aircraft experiments on the atmospheric science and other Earth science fields.
