Project Title
Modelling, Simulations and Scientific Analyses for the Aerosols - Cloud, Convection, Precipitation (A-CCP) study
Description
In late 2018 NASA began a three year multi-center study of two of the priority designated observables?Aerosols and Cloud-Convection-Precipitation (A CCP)?to leverage the advantages of a single synergistic observing system. NASA invited the Canadian Space Agency to participate in a workshop concerning the A-CCP pre-formulation study. The CSA extended this invitation to scientists from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and to scientists with relevant expertise from Canadian universities. The Canadian delegation to this workshop made a presentation about potential Canadian contributions to the mission.
This was followed up by submission of technical information about potential Canadian instrument contributions to the A CCP mission. These are: Aerosol Limb Imager (ALI), Spatial Heterodyne Observations of Water (SHOW) and Thin Ice Clouds Far InfraRed Experiment (TICFIRE).
Initial NASA assessments have indicated that the Canadian instruments ALI, SHOW and TICFIRE will enhance baseline observations and may be accommodated on A-CCP spacecraft.
inclusion of the Canadian instruments on NASA spacecraft is being assessed by NASA from technical, scientific, and cost perspectives. Simulations of measurements to be made by the Canadian instruments are required for each A-CCP satellite architecture in order to assess the science value of the Canadian instruments with respect to the A-CCP Science and Applications Traceability Matrix and to the other instruments from NASA and international partners.
