          Teacher: Cyril Crevoisier
          Organisation: 21h<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Overview<\/summary>\n

          This lecture introduces the concepts of direct and inverse radiative transfer, which underlie the study of the Earth’s atmosphere using remote sensing satellites, in the context of climate studies. The physical variables and fundamental laws are reminded, leading to the derivation of the radiative transfer equation that calculates the electromagnetic radiation transmitted or emitted by the atmosphere and measured at the top of it. This equation involves various thermodynamic, spectroscopic and instrumental information. The main radiative transfer codes are described. Finally, the inverse problem that consist in extracting atmospheric variables from radiometric measurements is discussed and illustrated by numerous examples involving present space missions.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

          Molecular spectroscopy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          Teacher: Christof Janssen
          Organisation: 7h<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Overview<\/summary>\n

          Molecular spectroscopy is a key method to determine the spectral signature of the Earth and the other planets of the Solar system, as well as the exoplanets. It aims at recording the electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted by a target (surface or atmosphere) in very narrow wavebands. In particular it plays an essential role in the monitoring of the evolution of our atmosphere (aerosols and gas molecules). In the next decades, large telescopes will extend observation to new spectral domains and boost the search for life on exoplanets. New instruments designed to analyze the chemical composition of the Earth’s lower atmosphere (greenhouse gases, pollutants, etc.) use technologies that allow measurements of spectra with very high spectral resolution and signal-to-noise ratios. The interpretation of these spectra requires mastering theoretical and experimental spectroscopic analysis techniques.Au cours des prochaines d\u00e9cennies, les grands t\u00e9lescopes \u00e9tendront l’observation \u00e0 de nouveaux domaines spectraux et stimuleront la recherche de vie sur les exoplan\u00e8tes. De nouveaux instruments con\u00e7us pour analyser la composition chimique de la basse atmosph\u00e8re terrestre (gaz \u00e0 effet de serre, polluants, etc.) utilisent des technologies qui permettent de mesurer des spectres avec une tr\u00e8s haute r\u00e9solution spectrale et un rapport signal\/bruit \u00e9lev\u00e9. L’interpr\u00e9tation de ces spectres n\u00e9cessite la ma\u00eetrise des techniques th\u00e9oriques et exp\u00e9rimentales d’analyse spectroscopique.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

                  Overview<\/summary>\n

                  This lecture is an introduction to the characterization of terrestrial surfaces by remote sensing, mainly in the solar domain. At first, the different modes of interaction of solar radiation with continental surfaces are discussed. The second part of the lecture is devoted to the determination of the biochemical and structural parameters of vegetation by hyperspectral and multiangular remote sensing, from the leaf scale to the ecosystem. In the last part, we discuss the quantification of energy balance on the surface of the Earth and its importance in climate models. Emphasis is put on physical modeling at different scales.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

                      This lecture is based on the concepts acquired in the “Celestial Mechanics” class to apply them more specifically to the orbit of satellites. By studying the relative movements between the orbit, the Earth and the Sun, it is focused on Earth observation satellites (and the very important case of sun-synchronous satellites). It also studies the trace of satellites, their repetitiveness, the evolution of their altitude, as well as the geometric conditions of shooting (swath, spatial and temporal sampling). It end with a brief study of satellites around Mars or other celestial bodies.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

                                        This course aims to present the chemical and physical mechanisms that govern the equilibrium of short-lived atmospheric components, trace gases, and aerosols. Understanding and monitoring their behavior in the atmosphere is a major societal challenge, given their key role in the planet\u2019s habitability and the significant impacts of an imbalance: depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere, deterioration of air quality near the surface, and numerous interactions with the climate. The mechanisms involved will be described through a combination of lectures, applied exercises, and numerical laboratory work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        The first part introduces the fundamentals of chemical kinetics and photochemical equilibria in the troposphere. The equilibrium of the stratosphere and the evolution of the ozone layer are then studied. The remainder of the course is devoted more specifically to understanding the troposphere\u2019s oxidizing capacity and the composition and properties of atmospheric aerosols. The main processes involved in the development of air pollution episodes at the urban and regional scales, as well as the tools used by the scientific community and air quality management agencies for monitoring and forecasting air quality, are then described. Finally, the numerous interactions between reactive chemistry and climate are introduced.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

                                        Clouds constitute the visible part of the water cycle in the atmosphere. They regulate precipitations and atmospheric water vapour, they interact with the surface and with pollution (e.g. by producing smog), they are one of the main modulators of the Earth temperature through their interaction with solar and telluric radiations. Aerosol particles play a significant role on air quality but also on climate through their interaction with radiation and clouds. Without aerosol particles, cloud formation in the atmosphere would not occur at the temperatures and relative humidities at which clouds are observed to exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        This course provides key elements of aerosol, cloud and precipitation physics, from the small scale (the particles composing clouds) to the regional scale (a cloud system) and up to the global scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        It includes:
                                        – Origin and chemical composition of aerosols
                                        – Spatial and vertical distributions of particles in the atmosphere

                                        – Aerosol radiative forcing: direct, semi-direct, indirect, impact on snow and ice surfaces

                                          Lecturers are from leading research laboratories (Polytechnique Montreal, CESBIO, GFZ Postam, Universit\u00e9 Luxembourg, Universit\u00e9 Paris Saclay, Institut de physique du Globe de Paris), large and small companies (Total Energy, Blue Origin, Ispace, MinersAI) and space agencies and international organizations (ESA, EEC, CNES). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          In addition to space related technologies, both in terms of instrumentation, data acquisition, data analysis and interpretation, some lectures present also AI applications, policy frameworks, and space mining economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          In addition to the 18 lectures, the program will offer one site visits, and case studies to provide hands-on experience. Lunches with the lecturers and a social event during one of the evening will offer networking opportunities and interactions with scientists and ingeneers involved in space utilization and space exploration. Two of the lectures are Directed Works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The evaluation is made through a QCM sent to the students a few weeks after the MasterClass and which has to be returned within 72 hours.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
