  1. Operational Atmospheric Chemistry Monitoring Missions (“CAPACITY”) Final Presentation ESA-ESTEC, Noordwijk / NL, 2 June 2005 CAPACITY Final Presentation, 2 June 2005, ESTEC

  2. Introduction CAPACITY Final Presentation, 2 June 2005, ESTEC

  3. Two branches of ESA’s Earth Observation Programme • Earth Explorer • research and demonstration missions • programme based on science community proposals and scientific evaluation • 4 missions under development and 2 in preparation • 7th mission to emerge from current call for ideas • Earth Watch • operational (or commercial) missions • applications to serve user community beyond science • possible partners: EU (GMES), Eumetsat, others “CAPACITY” is directed towards the Earth Watch programme. CAPACITY Final Presentation, 2 June 2005, ESTEC

  4. Earth Watch / GMES Five “Sentinels” considered between EU and ESA: • C-band SAR (interferometry) • Superspectral imager (Landsat, SPOT continuity) • Radar altimeter and multispectral sensor for ocean watch and global land monitoring • Geostationary atmospheric composition for pollution monitoring • Atmospheric composition sounding in low Earth orbit • Definition studies for sentinels 1-3 starting • Phase 0 studies for sentinels 4-5 starting late 2005 • GMES programme proposal in preparation • ESA Ministerial Council Dec. 2005, EU end of 2006 CAPACITY Final Presentation, 2 June 2005, ESTEC

  5. Eumetsat future programmes Meteosat Third Generation (geostationary orbit) • Pre-phase A system studies ongoing • Current payload: imager(s), IR sounder, lightning detector • UV-vis sounder study on instrument level, no satellite accomodation studied (funding envelope) • 2nd user workshop held recently Post-EPS (polar orbit) • User consultation starting (Application Experts Groups) CAPACITY Final Presentation, 2 June 2005, ESTEC

  6. Sources of user requirements • IGOS-IGACO Theme report • EU GMES-GATO report • Eumetsat user consultation in the frame of MTG • GMES service element PROMOTE • EU FP projects, e.g. Create-Daedalus, Evergreen • GCOS implementation plan, WCRP-SPARC long-term observation requirements • Environment and climate protection protocols, directives etc. (EU, international) • CAPACITY workshop Jan. ’04 • ESA studies on CO2 monitoring • ESA study on atmospheric chemistry observation requirements (research) CAPACITY Final Presentation, 2 June 2005, ESTEC

  7. Practical arrangements • no handouts • final report will be made available to all participants of this meeting • meeting room will be locked during lunch break • drink after meeting • taxi list being circulated CAPACITY Final Presentation, 2 June 2005, ESTEC
