Research fields
- Improvement of emission inventories and air quality studies by remote sensing
- measurement of air pollutants, greenhouse gases, dust and tracer in ambient air by in situ techniques, FTIR, DOAS
- measurement of diffuse emissions by open-path spectrometry of gas plumes for inverse dispersion modelling as well as by big enclosures (500 m2)
- measurement of hot exhaust emissions by passive spectrometry
- measurement of mixing layer heights by and ceilometer
- Development of FTIR emission spectrometry for passive remote sensing: spectra retrieval software MAPS on the basis of line-by-line calculations, development of calibration methods, scanning imaging spectrometry
