MetEOC Home 2022 – retired
Combining ground, atmosphere, and space-based measurements to develop metrology tools and frameworks that support climate observation systems capable of building understanding of drivers of climate change
Research Themes
Level 1 satellite traceability Developing sensors for space-based climate observations, suitable for pre-and in-flight measurements, including TRUTHS and FORUM mission studies |
Atmospheric ECVs Developing SI traceable measurement methods for bio-geophysical parameters, considering optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar sampling techniques |
Biophysical ECVs Developing satellite-derived SI traceable greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sink measurement methods, including robust monitoring of carbon emissions reduction policies |
Radiation ECVs Developing instrumentation and standards for traceable climate quality measurements, from surface-based networks operated by the WMO and UN |
Projects
Coordinated by NPL, MetEOC is series of collaborative European metrology projects that support Earth Observation applications — by establishing metrological techniques, including pre-flight calibration, post-launch on-board and vicarious calibration, and validation of higher level products
