Satellite Hyperspectral Sensor Workshop

Dates:

March 29-31, 2011

Co-organizers:

NOAA, NASA and EUMETSAT, the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites

The NOAA, NASA and EUMETSAT Satellite Hyperspectral Sensor Workshop was held in Miami, Virginia Key, Florida, U.S., March 29 - 31, 2011. The workshop explored existing and future satellite-borne Fourier transform (FTS) interferometers and grating spectrometers, and their applications to greenhouse gas (e.g. carbon dioxide-CO2 and methane-CH4) monitoring, atmospheric chemistry, and weather forecasting.

The Workshop was held at the University of Miami (UM), Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) in Miami, Virginia Key, Florida, in its auditorium.

RSMAS's campus is adjacent to and just across the Rickenbacker causeway road from the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic Meteorology Laboratory (AOML), the workshop host and is located on Virginia Key. RSMAS's auditorium address is: 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami, Florida (FL), 33149. The University of Miami is a private university with RSMAS as one of the U.S.'s premier centers of oceanographic research and education.
