AirCore
The AirCore is an atmospheric sampler flying under stratospheric balloons. It allows the measurement of the vertical profiles (from the surface up to 30 km of altitude) of atmospheric concentration […]

IASI
Developed by CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) in partnership with Eumetsat (EUropean organisation for the exploitation of METeorological SATellites), the IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) instrument was designed for operational meteorology and for monitoring atmospheric chemistry and climate. IASI is a thermal infrared Fourier transform spectrometer that provides radiance spectra and derived atmospheric variables to feed operational weather forecasting centers, the Copernicus Services and the scientific community.
ICOS – National Observation Service ICOS France Atmosphere (SIFA)
ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System) is a European Research Infrastructure for measuring atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and fluxes on ecosystems and the ocean. As the increase in greenhouse gases is the main cause of climate change, the interest of ICOS is to allow, in the long term, the monitoring of their sources and sinks. This monitoring will provide verification of emissions and sinks independent of fossil emission inventories and land use data. The ICOS infrastructure mobilises more than 500 researchers and engineers from 17 European countries; it is a key element of the European Research Infrastructure Roadmap (ESFRI) and constitutes a Very Large Research Instrument (TGIR) of the French national research strategy. The French part of ICOS is coordinated by the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE) which depends on CEA, CNRS, UVSQ and INRA.
