The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts in satellite and ground-based remote sensing, specialists in radiative transfer, and developers of retrieval algorithms for different applications, to inform each other about state-of-art methods and observations related to oxygen absorption bands in the solar spectral range. After the first workshop held in 2016, the second workshop will consider progress in measurements and modelling of oxygen absorption bands used for remote sensing of clouds, aerosols, and trace gases.
Programme
The workshop will have the format of a 3-day plenary meeting from Wednesday 29 May to Friday 31 May 2024, with oral presentations and posters. There will be sufficient time for discussions. (Virtual access to the meeting will not be provided.)
See the dedicated programme page for the full programme.
