EOLSG – increased facilities/service support to ESS/CS 1:00 Intro Remarks, Rit Carbone 1:05Brief Summary – climate-focused content; SVT prep doc (5/11/2011), Al Cooper 1:25Roundtable presentations….. (5min, each attendee, please address all points) 1. EOL’s potential strengths and weaknesses in support of climate-motivated sci 2. Potential science/facility priorities that intersect our core competencies 3. Within topic(s) 2., options for first steps, quick wins, longer term capabilities… 4. Order of magnitude for a) initial effort(s), b) mature result(s) 5. A short list of potential advocates/users (university and/or NCAR PIs) 2:30 Discussion, next steps re community consultation, feedback
Carbone #1 Strengths : micromet in situ, radar, lidar, airborne platforms, O2, CO2; Weaknesses: ESS non-met variables (biogenic emissions , hydro, climate variability timeseries Potential priorities – UTLS profiling facility – a transportable electromagnetic profiling facility for high resolution H2O, O3, T, u,v,w, aerosol backscatter. Seasonal to multi-seasonal timeseries, complementing episodic airborne observations. Initial: VHF u,v,w, H2O, aerosol; Mature: + O3, T; potential advocates: strat-tropsci ACD, CGD and university counterparts
Carbone #2, #3 2. Terrestrial environment sensing facility - lower boundary interfacial fluxes, atmosphere-biosphere; atmosphere-hydrosphere; biosphere-hydrosphere. Vertical/horizontal redistribution of water/energy; photosynthesis, respiration; biogenic emissions; chem/phys evolution; mineral aerosol; cloud IN, CCN, capacity to rain Initial:CentnetHydromet: H2O DIAL profiles, surf/grnd water, UHF u,v,w Mature: CentnetESS: non-met biogenic emissions, PBL T profiles, traceable cloud effects, lidar/cloud radar , O3, SO2, aerosol conc/comp, traceable 2ndorganics 3. Marine environment sensing facility – airborne observations near coral reefs, estuaries and other continental shelf regions. A combination of airborne in situremote sensing techniques; and aircraft droppable packages for surface and immersion ocean observations. Radiometry and active remote sensors Initial: airborneocean-atmosphere interfacial fluxes (in situ + remote); spectrally resolved upper ocean imagery/radiometry Mature: dropables (ocean thermal, salinity, acidic structure); remote sensing to depth of few meters (backscatter structures?); gaseous emissions/depositions
