Participation in the NORS/NDACC/GAW Workshop

The National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA), together with theIzaña Atmospheric Research Center (IARC, AEMET), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), have presented two studies in the “NORS/NDACC/GAW Workshop“, which was held in Brussels (Belgium) from 5 to 7 November 2014. The local host has been the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB).
The aim of the workshop is to highlight the observations and the scientific research that are conducted within the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC), in collaboration with satellite teams, modelers and other networks, like the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) programme. There will be a particular emphasis on the developments that have been achieved in the EU FP7 project NORS, Demonstration Network of Ground-based Remote Sensing Observations in support of the Copernicus (GMES) Atmospheric Service.
