| 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. |
| Sectors | Aerospace Defence and Marine Agriculture Food and Drink Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software) Education Environment |
| Description | NERC data centres operated by CEDA are made available to users worldwide. During 2016 for example, 2320 users downloaded 538.7TB of Earth Observation Data in 5.7 million files. These users were based in UK (62%), Europe (11%) and beyond, spanning universities (74%), government (12%) and other, including commercial, applications, across 15 research domains. |

| Impact | The state-of-the-art ORAC scheme is now being further developed to produce (a) a joint cloud/aerosol product which is radiatively self-consistent and homogeneous for climate research applications and (b) top-of-atmosphere and surface shortwave and longwave radiative fluxes, including photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), to expand the range of climate applications and potentially to serve new applications such as solar energy and agriculture. The scheme is also being implemented for the MSG SEVIRI geostationary satellite in an NRT chain, with a view to serving operational applications for air quality and volcanic ash detection for aviation, and is to be implemented for HIMAWARI-8 for detection of smoke plumes from Indonesian fires which are a major air quality issue in SE Asia. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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)." |

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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| Results and Impact | ESA's Level-2 Working Group for Sentinel-5 Precursor brings together Europe's experts in retrieval of atmospheric composition from satellite observations of shortwave spectra. This Group has established the approaches to be implemented for S5P through scientific assessment of radiative transfer and retrieval schemes algorithms. The Group has undertaken comparisons of such schemes adapted to S5P, and their assessments have formed the basis of "Level-2 processors" to be coded by the Agency. Dr Richard Siddans, Dr Georgina Miles and Dr Barry Latter participate in this Group. |
