Welcome

Introduction to the conference

The 6^th IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) conference organised by the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) will be held in Nancy, France, from the 2^nd to the 6^th December 2024.
 
This conference aims at sharing the scientific results based on the use of the hyperspectral infrared observations from the IASI instruments on board the three Metop satellites.
 
Beyond results of the impact of IASI data in weather forecasting, atmospheric composition and climate monitoring, contributions are encouraged on innovative uses of IASI data and synergies with other instruments or data fusion.
 
Presentations on the progress of the preparation and implementation of new IR hyperspectral instruments (IASI-NG, MTG/IRS, FORUM, HIRAS, GIIRS, …) and techniques (principal components, machine learning, …) are also very welcome.
 

The subjects to be discussed at the conference include:
 
IASI and IASI-NG instrument performances and products

• Instruments' status
• L1 radiances: calibration and intercomparison; principal components and reconstructed radiances
• Products & Services (global, regional, reprocessing) 

Science and applications

• Radiative transfer & spectroscopy
• Retrieval techniques; use of principal components; machine learning
• Numerical weather prediction
• Regional & nowcasting applications
• Trends in climate variables
• Environmental monitoring (fires, volcanoes, surfaces …)
• Atmospheric composition
• Clouds & Aerosols
• L2 validation

Other IR sounding missions; complementarities and synergies

• Meteorological programs (CrIS, IRS, GIIRS, GeoXO)
• Explorer missions: FORUM, CAIRT
• Emission missions ; other limb-sounding missions
