We develop new instrumentation for atmospheric remote sensing of critical parameters including water vapour, ozone and aerosol distributions in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, which is a region of the atmosphere that is critically coupled to the surface temperature. This instrumentation, which is intended for ultimate use on satellite platforms, is tested on aircraft and stratospheric balloons. The proposed equipment, which includes a thermal vacuum chamber, will provide us with in-lab capability of testing how these instruments perform in the harsh environments of space and the upper atmosphere, and a uniform source integrating sphere for a precise and robust method of calibrating the measurements. The Canadian Space Agency is considering the instrumentation that we are developing for potential future satellite missions and this university level research involvement provides an excellent opportunity to engage in training personnel for the future.

我们开发了新的大气遥感仪器，包括对流层上层和平流层下层的水蒸气、臭氧和气溶胶分布，这是大气中与地表温度关键耦合的区域。该仪器最终将用于卫星平台，并在飞机和平流层气球上进行测试。提议的设备，包括一个热真空室，将为我们提供在实验室中测试这些仪器在太空和高层大气恶劣环境下的性能的能力，以及一个统一的源积分球，用于精确和可靠的校准测量方法。加拿大航天局正在考虑我们正在为未来可能的卫星任务开发的仪器，这种大学级别的研究参与为培训未来的人员提供了一个极好的机会。
