MUSICA - IASI

Multi-platform remote sensing of water isotopologues

We optimise and perform remote sensing retrievals using ground-based high resolution FTIR (Fourier Transform InfraRed) spectrometers and the IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) instruments aboard the satellites MetOp, and we document in great detail the representativeness and the uncertainty of these remote sensing data products. Our focus is the generation and characterisation of tropospheric water vapour isotopologue remote sensing data and their application for tropospheric moisture transport pathway studies.
