Topic(s) of interest: mm-wave radiometry, modelling and retrieval. My project involves the construction of a mm-wave radiometer to study Arctic stratosphere ozone chemistry.
Give a talk: yes
Abstract:
To be determined.

This talk will centre on the development of a new ground based millimeter wave radiometer to be deployed at the PEARL laboratory, Nunavut, Canada. The millimetre wave remote sounding studies are to focus on ozone depletion chemistry in the Arctic stratosphere via measurements of ozone (O3), chlorine monoxide (ClO) and nitric acid (HNO3). There are no instruments of this kind currently in operation in Canada and it will provide a capability for year-round obsevations of stratospheric ClO. These results will give a better understanding of stratospheric chemical processes and will complement observations made by similar instruments situated in northern Europe. This talk will discuss the measurements to be provided by the instrument as well as development plans.

Topic(s) of interest: stratospheric water vapor, definition of the altitude range a retrieval can be considered as reliable, baseline issues
Give a talk: yes
Abstract:
In [1] Rodgers gives three criteria for the altitude range in which a retrieval can be regarded as reliable. The first criterion is that the area of the averaging kernels (AVK) is close to unity, the second that the peak of the AVK is located at the approximately right level and the third that the widths of the AVK are more or less uniform and comparable with or narrower than those of the original weighting functions.
Here these three criteria are used to determine the altitude range of retrievals of water vapor in the middle atmosphere from ground based measurements.

Topic(s) of interest: microwave, radiometry, retrieval, stratospheric and mesospheric water vapour.
Give a talk: yes
Abstract:
A ground-based 22 GHz radiometer, designed to deliver middle atmospheric water vapour profiles over the midlatitudinal Asiatic continent, was developed at the University of Bern, Switzerland. The instrument has been in operation in Seoul [37°N, 127°E], S-Korea, since November 2006. The calibration concept is based on the calibration of the ground-based 22 GHz radiometer MIAWARA, developed and operational at Bern [47°N, 7°E], since 2002. For the retrieval, we make use of the QPack-ARTS software package.
During our retrieval work, we investigated the influence of changing different parameters, such as the spectroscopic parameters, temperature profiles.., on the retrieved profiles and compared this to the results of the error analysis formulated by Rodgers.
During this workshop, we would like to present these results in the form of a poster.

Hello!

Our research group around Prof. Niklaus Kaempfer will try to present something, maybe some posters about our microwave instruments here in Bern with retrieving-relevant content. It's nothing fixed yet, so there is no abstract yet...

Looking forward to the workshop!

Give a talk: yes
Abstract:
The Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT) is a new 64m diameter telescope that can observe in the 0.3-100 GHz range. Astronomical radio signals are very weak, therefore atmospheric conditions have a great influence on SRT's capability to perform good observations. Through a historical data set of radiosonde measurements and by using the radiative transfer model ARTS, a statistical analysis of the SRT atmosphere that accounts for opacity at different frequencies was performed. This should be useful for scheduling astronomical observations at different frequencies in the most appropriate time frame during the year.
