Scientific Subject

We greatly appreciate a lot of scientists interested in the EarthCARE mission would join this Workshop.
Subjects of this workshop are various topics relating to the EarthCARE mission as follows.

• The EarthCAREMission
  EarthCARE mission objectives, observational requirements, system and instruments presentation, science and programmatic aspects


• Active Techniques for Cloud Observations –Radar
  Millimeter-wave cloud radar's techniques, observation results including CloudSat, ground-based and air-borne radars Especially, Doppler measurement techniques and its application for cloud physics retrieval are welcome.


• Active Techniques for Cloud and Aerosol Observations –Lidar
  Lidar observation techniques, observation results including CALIPSO, ground-based and air-borne lidars Especially high-spectral resolution lidars techniques and its results are welcome.


• Satellite Imagery for Cloud and Aerosol Observations
  Cloud and aerosol observations from satellite-borne imagers, new methods using multi-spectral observation


• Earth radiation budget satellite measurement
  Techniques and observations of short-wave and long-wave broad-band radiances and fluxes measured from space


• Synergistic Exploitation of Active and Passive Observation Techniques
  Retrieval methods of cloud and aerosol properties using synergisitc measurements of radar, lidar, and passive instruments


• Modeling of Clouds, Aerosols and Radiation
  Numerical weather/climate model technique and results, relating clouds, aerosols and radiation
