  1. ENVISAT Validation using the DLR Falcon 20 Research Aircraft • Overview over the Validation Activities Prepared by Andreas Fix, 04/11/02

  2. The Falcon 20 D-CMET

  3. ENVISAT Validation activities of the Falcon • 2 Different Missions with different Payloads and Objectives:

  4. SCIA-VALUE(SCIAMACHY Validation and Scientific Utilisation Experiment) Objectives: Validation of SCIAMACHY level-2 data products: O3, N2O, NO2, BrO, ClO, H2O, OClO, and cloud and aerosol optical properties • Working Groups: • University of Heidelberg, Germany: T. Wagner, K.-P. Heue, U. Platt, • University of Bremen, Germany: H. Küllmann, A. Kleinböhl, K. Künzi, A. Richter, M. Bruns, P. Wang, J.P. Burrows • German Aerospace Center (DLR): A. Fix, G. Ehret

  5. SCIA-VALUE Falcon Payload

  6. SCIA-VALUE: Falcon Payload Falcon 20 equipped with the three remote sensing instruments ASUR, AMAXDOAS, and OLEX for air-borne validation of SCIAMACHY data products O3, N2O, NO2, BrO, ClO, H2O, OClO, and cloud and aerosol optical properties

  7. SCIA-VALUE: Flight Tracks • 2 Main Campaigns:(~ 100 flight hours) • 6-28. September 2002successfully performed • Feb/Mar 2003 (planned)

  8. Summary of SCIAMACHY overpasses during the September 2002 campaign

  9. Falcon passing Kilimanjaro, Kenia

  10. MIPAS-VAL • Objectives: • The measurement of water vapour and aerosol profiles using the airborne H2O-DIAL of DLR as the core instrument and the comparison of these data to the respective MIPAS Level 2-products. • Intercomparison with the remote and in-situ GEOPHYSIKA instruments measuring water vapour and aerosol (i.e. MIPAS-STR,SAFIRE-A, FISH, FLASH, MAL, MAS, FSSP, ABLE) • Measurement of small-scale structures in the tropopause region, the comparison of these results with the ENVISAT products and model results of climate and climate-chemistry models. • Campaign: • Joint campaign with the GEOPHYSIKA mid-latitude validation activities (Forli’, Italy (October 2002))

  11. MIPAS-VAL: Falcon Payloadall instruments operated by DLR (PI: Andreas Fix)

  12. Summary of MIPAS overpasses during the Forli‘ 2002 campaign (14-28/10/02) 8 Falcon Flights total (25.5 h) 4 Flights co-ordinated with GEOPHYSIKA )* 4 flights at daylight 4 flights at night-time

  13. Summary 2 Falcon Missions: SCIA-VALUE • 2 main measurement campaigns (~50 flight hours each) • First campaign succesfully performed (Sep. 2002) • Second campaign scheduled for Feb/Mar 2003 • No need to change flight plan or instrumentation MIPAS-VAL • Validation campaign (Forli‘ 2002, ~25 flight hours) successfully performed • No further campaign activity within this mission
