INMENSE project is structured as shown in the following Working Plan:
WP 1: Creation of the INMENSE reference database
WP 1.1: NDACC and TCCON ground-based FTIR observation databases
WP 1.2: Optimisation of the ground-based CH4 and N2O FTIR observations
WP 1.3. Generation of the improved CH4 observations
WP 1.4. Consistency analysis between NDACC and TCCON CH4 and N2O products
WP 1.5: Creation of the INMENSE database
WP 2: Developing and evaluating of new retrieval strategies for monitoring CH4 and N2O from IASI
WP 2.1: Creation of the IASI/EUMETSAT Level 1 and Level 2 products database
WP 2.2. Optimisation of the IASI CH4 and N2O retrieval strategies developed during MUSICA project
WP 2.3: Retrieval of IASI CH4 and N2O observations for validation purposes
WP 2.4. Comprehensive quality assessment of IASI CH4 and N2O observations
WP 2.5. Documentation of the consistency between IASI-A and IASI-B
WP 3. Generation of the IASI CH4 and N2O observations at global scale
WP 3.1: Optimisation of the data flow and retrieval code
WP 3.2: Retrieval of IASI CH4 and N2O global distributions
WP 4: Assessment of IASI’s potential for understanding atmospheric CH4 and N2O budgets, sources/sinks and their atmospheric transport
WP 4.1. Comparison to operational model CH4 and N2O estimates
WP 4.2. Utility of INMENSE IASI CH4 and N2O observations for estimating CH4 and N2O sources/sinks
WP 4.3. Comparison to operational IASI CH4 and N2O products disseminated by EUMETSAT
WP 5: Dissemination of results thought the INMENSE website, scientific publications and contributions to scientific conferences
