Practical information:
| Date: | July 8-11, 2002 |
| Place: | Tagungshaus Bredbeck An der Wassermuehle 30 27711 Osterholz-Scharmbeck Phone: +49-4791-9618-0 Fax: +49-4791-9618-13 Email: info (at) bredbeck.de WWW: http://www.bredbeck.de |
The workshop starts and ends with lunch. The workshop itself, including meals and accommodation, is free of charge (courtesy of IUP, University of Bremen, and BMBF/DLR Grant 50 EE 9815). Accommodation will be mostly in double rooms, we have a house with 15 double rooms for 27 registered participants.
We have arranged transportation between Bremen and the Bredbeck guesthouse by bus. To make use of this opportunity you have to be at the University of Bremen, Building NW1, at 10.00 on Monday July 8. Bredbeck is a rather remote place, so getting there on your own might be difficult.
If you want to arrive in Bremen before Monday July 8, or stay after Thursday July 11, we can help you to reserve a hotel room (however, you have to pay your own bill). So far, we have made reservations for the night Sunday to Monday at hotel "Residence" for three persons (Franz Schreier, Ute Boettger, and Yasuko Kasai).
The workshop:
This is the fourth radiative transfer workshop we are organizing. The workshop series aims at being a forum for exchanging information and ideas regarding forward models for long wavelength observations (microwaves to IR).
In particular, we are using these workshops to discuss ideas related to the development of our public domain RT model ARTS with other people working in the field. Because version 1.0.x of ARTS has now been in use for some time, there should also be room to discuss user's problems and suggestions.
Topics:
(I've given in brackets the names of people who brought up the topic, or whom I suspect to be interested.)
- Meet your neighbor's model. (Presentation of models not known to the group, new developments in existing models.)
- Further procedure for intercomparison paper summarizing results of last workshop.
- New developments in spectroscopic databases (Dietrich Feist).
- Zeeman splitting (Nikolay Koulev).
- Tangent linear and adjoint models instead of weighting functions (Stefan Buehler).
- Retrieval tool development (Qpack and beyond) (Patrick Eriksson). Also user feedback for Qpack.
- Best approach for retrieval error analysis of spectroscopic parameters / Jacobian vs. linear mapping. (Stefan Buehler)
- Reports on ARTS-1.0 applications.
- Scattering (Claudia Emde, Sreerekha Ravi, Christian Melsheimer).
- Comparison of water vapor microwave RT models with measured data (Tim Hewison, Susanne Crewell, Thomas Kuhn, Mashrab Kuvatov). In particular, can we reconcile lab measurements, atmospheric measurements, and models?
- Helping users with new ARTS-1.0 applications (Uwe Raffalski, Hermann Berg).
- Water vapor continuum in the submillimter region to far infrared.
- RT through the atmosphere of other planets
- JEM/SMILES Mission plan
