3 IPSL strategy for space activity Space research cover a broader range of activities : From ideas fro missions to realizing them and exploiting the space observations Last evaluation - strong focus on instrumental development: Coordinating the management of instrumental space projects Support the development of new R & D activities IPSL initiatives have include all activities : mission specifications, R& D, sensors, simulators, algorithms, data use. Ozone - Arctic Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Page 3 Page 3

4 What has been done? Building a common strategy in domains which benefit from IPSL coordination Coordination and animation of community Better interaction with Cnes(Calipso, Megha-Tropiques, Merlin, steering committees ) Support of new innovative instrumental initiatives Support to use of space observations : Strong relationship with ground-based, airborne observations, modelling Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Page 4 Page 4

5 Data processing and analysis Important work before and during mission life in the laboratories : algorithms, inversion, validation/calibration.. Simulators of payloads and/or observations Implementation of multi-sensors products, tools as interface obs/modeling, data set in close relationship with users Importance of strong interactions between those who have expertise and those which produce data Need of national data center and labs/ipsl data center ESPRI. Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Page 5 Page 5

6 A train Earthcare a success Coordination of all scientific activities within these missions Some original works: Obs simulator for CMIP5, RADAR/LIDAR products A success A Train colloque June 2012: 250 participants important french visibility SIRTA Radar Lidar CHIMERE tracer experiment, Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Page 6 Page 6

7 Lidars Fundamental research / applications/environnement/operational SIRTA Development of innovative or robust instruments Space missions : proposal, design, R&T, numerical simulations, demonstrators.. Algorithms, signal processing Operations and maintenance for ground based lidars with OSU partners Airborne integration and operations DT INSU Valorisation and transfer to industry LIDAR OHP Leandre 2 HYMEXP Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Page 7 Page 7

11 Coordination for Innovative Instrumentation IPSL will support technological development, new projects ahead the realisation of space payloads/ sensors but also all type of sensors ( ground based, in situ sensors ), analytic plate-formes Coordination enhanced : an ad hoc group to define technical and human ressources available for new projects : Integration and Test Plateform ( OVSQ) L1: JUICE Laboratories facilities Instruments simulator Calibration facilities Job position expertise Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Page 11 Page 11

12 Strategy for the next years Flux inversions: CO 2 Space forum in close relationship with other observations facilities, data analysis, modelisation in particular to propose new concepts and new space missions Support to innovative instrumentation within a larger framework L1:JUICE Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Page 12 Page 12
