Description CEMS is a facility to process, manage and distribute large datasets, produced from satellites monitoring the Earth's environment. The Facility for Climate and Environmental Monitoring from Space (CEMS) is a data centre based at Harwell's Science and Innovation Campus, for managing and processing large and complex datasets. With both Government and industrial sponsorship, CEMS has facilitated public-private sector partnerships to develop and expand the UK space industry. Government investment has enabled CEMS to play a key role in delivering UK Space Agency application development programmes. Discussion is taking place with the European Space Agency for CEMS to become a major data access and processing node for ESA data from the climate initiative programmes. CEMS has partnered industry (such as Infoterra) and provides facilities for small and medium-sized businesses in the space sector (such as Magellium), providing a major impact on the development of the expertise within the UK space sector, and downstream commercial products.
Exploitation Route Users across NCEO and also outside perform scientific calculations on CEMS and use datasets stored on CEDA, encompassing data volumes and processing speeds unavailable at their home institutions.

Title RAL IASI version 1 methane 
Description Version 1 of RAL's multi-year, global, height-resolved methane data set retrieved from IASI on MetOp-A. The data set comprises methane profiles and column-average mixing rations along with co-retrieved geophysical variables (surface temperature, water vapour and HDO) together with error covariance matrices and vertical averaging kernels. The retrieval scheme adopted ECMWF ERA-Interim atmospheric temperature distributions and, as a priori information, also surface temperature and humidity distributions, and the U.Wisconsin data base for surface spectral emissivity. An effective cloud fraction and cloud-top pressure were co-retrieved by exploiting N2O lines in the same spectral band (7.9 micron) as methane, on the basis that the N2O distribution could be specified accurately. 
Type Of Material Database/Collection of data 
Year Produced 2016 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact The retrieval scheme used to produce this Version 1 data set has subsequently been improved by adopting atmospheric temperature, surface temperature, humidity and surface spectral emissivity which have been pre-retrieved from IASI jointly with co-located observations by the microwave sounders AMSU and MHS on MetOp. This improved version of the methane scheme, together with the MetOp pre-retrieval scheme, have been used to produce a data set sampled globally 2007-17 one day per month, and has also implemented in a pilot near-real time data processing system at RAL. 
 
Title RAL Version 1 IMS data set 
Description This Version 1 multi-year, global data set produced with RAL's Infrared and Microwave Sounding (IMS) scheme comprises surface temperature, atmospheric temperature, humidity and ozone profiles, surface spectral emissivity and effective cloud fraction and cloud-top pressure retrieved jointly from IASI, AMSU and MHS on MetOp. The data set also includes covariance matrices and vertical averaging kernels. 
Type Of Material Database/Collection of data 
Year Produced 2018 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact The IMS Version 1 height-resolved water vapour data are contributing to the ESA Climate Change Initiative. Through use of IMS Version 1 met data in place of ECMWF ERA-Interim data (lower resolution), the accuracy of RAL's IAS methane retrieval scheme has been improved. The Version 1 scheme has been implemented in a pilot near-real time processing chain. The Version 1 IMS scheme has subsequently been extended to shorter wavelengths and developed further to cover trace gases CO, ammonia, methanol, SO2 and HNO3 together with dust and sulphuric acid aerosol. 
 
Title RAL extended Infrared Microwave Sounder (IMS) retrievals of atmospheric and surface properties: subset of four selected months in 2018 from Suomi-NPP, v1 
Description The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) extended Infrared Microwave Sounder (IMS) data set retrieves vertical profiles of temperature, water vapour (H2O), ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), together with cloud optical depth and effective radius and column amounds of minor gases, dust and sulfuric acid aerosol optical depth. The scheme also provides surface temperature and surface spectral emissivity spanning infrared and microwave. Column amounts of the following minor gases are retrieved: Nitric acid (HNO3), ammonia (NH3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), methanol (CH3OH), formic acid (HCOOH) and (for Suomi-NPP only) isoprene (C5H8). The retrieval scheme has been applied to the infra-red and microwave sounders on platforms Metop (IASI, AMSU and MHS) and Suomi-NPP (CrIS and ATMS). The data sub-set provided here comprises four months (April, July, September, December) of Suomi-NPP data in 2018 produced with the horizontal sampling of CrIS, ~18x18 km. Development of the core IMS scheme was funded by the UK's National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) under the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), with additional funding from EUMETSAT contract EUM/CO/13/4600001252/THH. Development of the extended IMS scheme and production of this Suomi-NPP data sub-set were funded through NCEO. Data were produced by the Remote Sensing Group (RSG) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL)."

It also includes column-averaged water vapour (H2O), a scale factor for the HDO (water vapour isotopologue) volume mixing ratio profile, surface temperature, effective cloud fraction, effective cloud-top pressure and scale factors for two systematic residual spectra which are jointly retrieved from the spectral range 1232.25-1290.00 cm-1. This dataset was produced by Version 2.0 of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory's (RAL's) IASI optimal estimation scheme to retrieve methane, which takes as input temperature and water vapour profiles and surface spectral emissivity pre-retrieved by RAL's Infrared and Microwave Scheme applied to IASI, MHS and AMSU-A on MetOp-B. The dataset additionally contains selected a priori values and uncertainties adopted in the optimal estimation scheme and retrieval output diagnostics such as the retrieval cost and the averaging kernels. Development of the Version 2.0 scheme and its application to MetOp-A (2007-2017, http://dx.doi.org/10.5285/f717a8ea622f495397f4e76f777349d1) was funded by the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) under the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) with additional funding from EUMETSAT. Adaptation to MetOp-B and production of the IASI MetOp-B methane dataset 01/2018-03/2021 were funded by NCEO and ESA Contract No. 4000129987/20/I-DT Methane+. Data were produced by the United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Remote Sensing Group (RSG) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL).

Impact The MetOp-B methane data were used in ESA's Methane+ project for inverse modelling of fluxes by several groups. As a result, methane data produced by this scheme for Metop-A and B are being trialled for flux inversion in the next GHG re-analysis by the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service.

PI Contribution Based on schemes for height-resolved ozone and aerosol retrieval developed through NERC NCEO and applied extensively in ESA's Climate Change Initiative (C3S), our team has involvement in the first phase of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, led by ECMWF. Multi-year global satellite data sets on ozone and aerosol are to be produced using the JASMIN computer infrastructure at RAL managed by CEDA. Our retrieval scheme for satellite uv nadir sounders provides sensitivity to tropospheric as well as stratospheric ozone. Our aerosol retrieval scheme (ORAC) was first developed for the dual-view ATSR-2 and is now applicable to a range of satellite vis/ir dual- and single-view imagers.
Collaborator Contribution The C3S ozone and aerosol projects are led by, respectively, BIRA-IASB (Belgium) and DLR (Germany), and involve consortia of European partners: C3S ozone - LATMOS/IPSL(France), DLR (Germany), U.Bremen (Germany), KNMI (Netherlands), Telespazio-Vega (UK), FMI (Finland) C3S aerosol - FMI (Finland), ICARE (France), MET-NO (Norway), ULB (Belgium), BIRA-IASB (Belgium), LMD (France), U.Bremen (Germany), U.Swansea (UK) Our partners provide multi-year global satellite data sets on ozone or aerosol which complement those from our group. In the case of ozone, our partners provide total columns, stratospheric profiles from limb-sounders or height-resolved data from ir nadir sounders whose height-sensitivity differs from that of the uv nadir sounders for which we are responsible. In the case of aerosol, our partners provide stratospheric profiles from limb sounders, optical properties from ir nadir sounders to augment particle size and type information from vis/near-ir wavelengths for which we are responsible, or else aerosol optical depth and other properties from vis/near-ir sensors with which to compare to ours.

In the case of aerosol, our partners provide stratospheric profiles from limb sounders, optical properties from ir nadir sounders to augment particle size and type information from vis/near-ir wavelengths for which we are responsible, or else aerosol optical depth and other properties from vis/near-ir sensors with which to compare to ours.

PI Contribution Based on schemes for height-resolved ozone and aerosol retrieval developed through NERC NCEO and applied extensively in ESA's Climate Change Initiative (C3S), our team has involvement in the first phase of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, led by ECMWF. Multi-year global satellite data sets on ozone and aerosol are to be produced using the JASMIN computer infrastructure at RAL managed by CEDA. Our retrieval scheme for satellite uv nadir sounders provides sensitivity to tropospheric as well as stratospheric ozone. Our aerosol retrieval scheme (ORAC) was first developed for the dual-view ATSR-2 and is now applicable to a range of satellite vis/ir dual- and single-view imagers.

Title Near Real-Time Processing chains for MetOp and MSG 
Description A near real-time processing chain for the MetOp satellite has been designed and implemented on the JASMIN infrastructure at RAL. The system produces height-resolved ozone data from GOME-2A and -2B and also methane data from IASI. A near real-time processing chain is being implemented for particulates from MSG SEVIRI in geostationary orbit. 
Type Of Technology Software 
Year Produced 2016 
Impact ECMWF is evaluating the ozone data from MetOp-A for assimilation into the CAMS system. A pre-processor for temperature, humidity, ozone and surface emissivity from MetOp-A IASI, MHS and AMSU-B is being implemented on JASMIN. It is intended to adapt and transfer the MetOp system to process co-located Sentinel-5P and Suomi-NPP CrIS data. Additional target species could also potentially be added. The processing chain for SEVIRI particulates is to be expanded to process data from HIMAWARI-8 over SE Asia. 
 
Title Operational processor to derive sub-pixel cloud information for Sentinel-5P from Suomi NPP VIIRS 
Description This code was designed and implemented under ESA contract by RAL Remote Sensing Group and will run in the ground segment for Sentinel-5P 
Type Of Technology Software

Results and Impact The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a US-led telescope currently under construction on Cerro Pachón in Chile. Science first light is scheduled for 2020 and data collection is due to begin late in 2022 with a forecasted ten-year running time. The construction of the LSST is primarily being funded by US agencies: the Department of Energy (DoE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Some additional private funding has also been contributed. LSST operations will also primarily be funded via the US agencies with in-kind support (as yet unspecified) from the international partners.

The UK contribution to LSST (LSST:UK) provides support over 45 months for Phase B and focusses on the data output from the telescope and the access to this data via two organisations, as follows: The LSST:UK consortium which comprises all UK astronomy groups with a scientific interest in LSST; and the LSST:UK Science Centre (LUSC) which is a distributed organisation that conducts funded work on behalf of the LSST:UK consortium. The UK components are split into three workpackages covering management (WP1); LSST:UK Science Centre Data Access Centre (LUSC-DAC) (WP2) and the LUSC-DEV (WP3). UKRI - STFC is providing support to the following institutions under this proposal: Edinburgh, Oxford, Birmingham, Belfast, LJMU, Hertfordshire, Exeter and Cambridge.

The purpose of the LSST:UK Oversight Committee is to provide oversight of the UK contribution to the Phase B project in the context of the overall project. In particular, this oversight committee is tasked with submitting a report to STFC within six months of the award, which specifically reviews the software management plans and governance to be implemented by the collaboration in order to ensure that the science potential is maximised and to justify the level of funding awarded. The continuation of the grant award will be contingent on the successful review.
