We are pleased to announce GRASP-Earth’s participation in the #LUMINOUS (LInking in-sitU and reMote sensINg pOlarimetric techniqUeS) campaign 🗣️ The overall objective of the campaign is to achieve a better understanding of #aerosol properties relevant to #climatechange. The campaign is organised by Switzerland’s PSI Paul Scherrer Institut in collaboration with Spain’s Universidad de Granada. Specific goals are to design a strategy for ground in-situ polarimetric observations in support of and linking them to ground and satellite remote sensing of aerosols. GRASP-Earth’s AirPhoton instruments will be deployed both in the city of Granada and at the nearby AGORA observatory. PSI Paul Scherrer Institut will be deploying two of our new IMAP instruments which measure particulate properties including polarization at ground level, as well as one of our integrating nephelometers and a filter sampling station to measure particulates that will follow the SPARTAN-network protocol - www.spartan-network.org -. The campaign is supported by: ➥ ATMO-ACCESS TNA programme - ACTRIS-RI. ➥ Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF - via the project BISAR (Polarimetry to bridge the gap between in-situ and remote sensing observations of atmospheric aerosols). ➥ ATMO-ACCESS (grant agreement No 101008004) ➥ ACTRIS-RI España (RED2022-134824-E) ➥ Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain - projects ELPIS and NUCLEUS. ➥ Universidad de Granada - Plan Propio through Singular Laboratory (LS2022-1) program.
