Remote Sensing Solutions for Climate Science - Air and Climate - Climate Change

The growing concern for climatic change and the effects on ecosystems and societies increase the need for a better understanding of atmospheric phenomena. Clouds as well as natural and anthropogenic aerosols have considerable and complex interactions with the atmosphere and solar radiations. More and more scientists focus on analyzing these interactions and their effect on meteorology and the global warming. To better manage their impact, observers and decision makers need to monitor aerosol nature and concentration in order to understand, alert and forecast. Cimel provides remote sensing instruments dedicated to aerosols monitoring through global and local networks.
