| Description | In this project we have developed and applied innovative methods to generate new and improved EO datasets for land carbon and vegetation, land-atmosphere exchange, atmospheric pollution and chemistry-climate coupling. Some examples for new dataset are plant fluorescence observations which can help to constrain the carbon exchange and plant health, global observations of volatile organic compounds (such as isoprene) in the atmosphere, new products on the impact of fires (FCC) and Africa-wide products of above ground biomass . Using a range of models and data assimilation methods, we use these EO datasets to investigate key atmosphere-surface processes in the Earth system and to assess and advance components of Earth system models such as the UK land model JULES. A key element of this project is also the integration of new satellite missions including the sentinel 1-3 and the preparation for upcoming missions, especially the Earth Explorers Earthcare, Biomass and Flex and the forthcoming sentinels . |
| Exploitation Route | We are engaging and disseminating to the wider research community via publications, conference presentations and involvement in major international activities and projects such as ESA Climate Change Initiative, GEO, CEOS, GCOS or Copernicus. We are also closely collaborating with groups working on Earth system model development in the UK, namely NERC centres such as NCAS, CEH or NOC or the UK Met Office. We also directly engage with other key UK institutions including Defra or catapults. We also interact with space agency in the UK, but also internationally to ensure that our work contributes and can influence EO missions. We have also formed partnerships with many international partners from research institutions as well as with government institutions or NGO, eg. in Mexico, Indonesia, China or Brazil. We also foster the utilization of EO data and knowledge exchange of our expertise with industry and we have a number of joint projects funded by e.g the ISPP, the Newton fund or the National Space Innovation Program. |

| Description | In the domain of operational EO monitoring and climate data records where NCEO contributes directly to the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the ESA Climate Change Initiative; both are key mechanism in Europe for providing vital data for climate and atmosphere applications and the downstream sector We are also engaging strongly with UK and international space agencies to shape future EO missions such as the Uk?French MicroCarb mission. NCEO scientists are involved in many mission advisory groups from ESA, NASA and others and in new mission proposals jointly with UK space industry and are supporting missions from BRIC countries, eg the Chinese TanSat mission. NCEO scientists are also leading the ESA Biomass mission which has been recognised with the NERC impact award in 2018. NCEO is contributing to the international assessment reports such as the WMO/UNEP Ozone Assessments. Using data from the ACE satellite of fluorine species, we can track the success of the Montreal Protocol. We also contribute model, which gives good agreement with EO data of polar ozone loss, to investigate what would have happened without the Montreal Protocol. The model indicates that we would already be in an era of regular Arctic ozone 'holes' and ozone reductions globally. NCEO scientist and science is also contributing to major initiatives such as the Global Carbon Project or the good practice protocol for above ground biomass of CEOS. We have also used EO data to evaluate AQUM, the model used by the Met Office for daily air quality forecasts. These comparisons led, among other things, to an improvement in the treatment of NOy chemistry in the model, and thereby an improvement in UK chemical weather forecasts. An important area that directly benefits from the work of NCEO is food security and agriculture. In the framework of the Newton Agritech project, NCEO helps improving crop models for China and is contributing to a better understanding of the extent, drivers for, and impacts of, crop residue burning in large agricultural areas of China. Furthermore, NCEO is enabling the cost-effective, powerful and strategic use of EO to support the stewardship of forests and related ecosystems at national and regional levels, for example with international partners in Mexico and Brazil (UKSA ISPP program). NCEO is also involved in the development of a smartphone application using satellite data to produce timely (near-real-time) forest cover mapping in order to address the practical challenges of forest monitoring and management. The prototype will be trialled in Kenya but has worldwide opportunities. |

| Impact | Influence on leading practitioners. Kireon Doick, Head of the Urban Forest Research Group, Forest Research said of this work "Urban trees are a very important resource for all those who live in, visit or work in towns and cities, for they provide us with a plethora of health and well-being benefits, and they keep these places cleaner and more attractive. Canopy cover values released last year show that for some areas the abundance of trees is also higher than in the countryside (averaging: 16% (towns) and 10% (pan-England in 2016)). This means we should expect our urban trees to also be providing us will an important carbon sink, helping to combat the global trend of increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This new work by UCL is a welcome development in advancing this understanding, and I look forward to hearing how the work continues to develop." Councillor Adam Harrison, Cabinet Member for Improving Camden's Environment said of the work: "Camden is really pleased to partner with UCL, based in the borough, in order to unlock the benefits of trees not just for our own residents but for people's benefit round the world." |
| Description | Influence on urban forest planning and management leaders and professionals: Sir Harry Studholme, Chair of the Forestry Commission said of this work: "The trees in our cities are important. They matter because they are close to people and are a key component of our urban environment providing beauty, shade and homes for myriad species as well as absorbing carbon and pollutants. The work being carried out at UCL is adding colour and detail to this understanding" |

| Title | Carbon Data Model Framework - CARDAMOM |
| Description | What is CARDAMOM? CARDAMOM (CARbon DAta MOdel fraMework) is a computer programme that retrieves terrestrial carbon (C) cycle variables by combining C cycle observations with a mass balance model. CARDAMOM produces global dynamic estimates of plant and soil C pools, their exchanges with each other and with the atmosphere, and C cycling variables for processes driving change. A Bayesian method is used to retrieve model parameters that statistically reduce the difference between model outputs and C observations for each model cell. The outcome is a probabilistic assessment of the fluxes, pools and process variables of the C cycle in each cell. Why is it useful? CARDAMOM produces a C cycle analysis consistent with C measurements and climate. It is well suited for using with global-scale satellite observations, for instance aboveground biomass or leaf area index. CARDAMOM produces a confidence interval on all retrieved quantities, so that there is a clear assessment of model-data consistency, and the value of assimilating extra datasets can be quantitatively assessed. Why is it novel? Conventional C cycle estimates rely on prescribed C cycle parameters; CARDAMOM retrieves parameters by combining models with data. The implementation of the CARDAMOM family of C models, (DALEC models), differs from typical model implementations: there is no spin-up for biomass and soil C, and no prescribed plant functional types or C pool steady state. CARDAMOM generates maps of key model parameters as an output, rather than as an input. Rather than being compared to data, the CARDAMOM outputs represent the best fit to all data within each CARDAMOM cell. How does it work? CARDAMOM has several components. First is a C mass balance model, DALEC, that has four vegetation pools and two dead organic matter pools (these pools can be adjusted to test alternate structures). There are around 20 model parameters associated with phenology (plant timing), allocation, residence times, temperature sensitivity and productivity. The second component is a system to arrange and organise spatial data related to forcing (climate, burned area, management) and to observations for assimilation (currently LAI, biomass, soil C). The third component is the Markov Chain Monte Carlo code, that operates on each model grid cell to retrieve model parameter vectors consistent with data. The fourth component is a structure to manage model-data interactions, distribute jobs to parallel computing nodes, retrieve state and process variables from optimized model parameters, and to summarise results for analysis. |

| Title | Top down method for biomasss burning emissions calculation |
| Description | We present a novel emissions inventory approach that bypasses the fuel consumption step, directly linking geostationary FRP measures to emission rates of total particulate matter (TPM), via coefficients derived from observations of smoke plume aerosol optical depth (AOD). The approach is fully 'top-down', being based on spaceborne observations alone, is performed at or close to the FRP data's original pixel resolution, and avoids the need to assume or model fuel consumption per unit area prior to the emissions calculation. Rates and totals of trace gas and carbon emission can be inferred from the TPM fluxes, and in combination with satellite burned area (BA) products the approach provides an innovative top down approach to mapping fuel consumption per unit area (kg·m- 2) as a last step in the calculation. |

| 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. |

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 | This dataset will form the basis of the following analysis: 1) to develop a new model to estimate tree height in tropical secondary forests 2) to calibrate methods to quantify the above-ground biomass of tropical secondary forests using L-band radar data 3) to assess long-term changes in aboveground biomass accumulation and biodiversity across tropical secondary forests, using data collected over coincident sites in the 1990s. |
| Title | surface CO2 fluxes and CO2 concentrations |
| Description | We infer surface CO2 fluxes by assimilating in-situ CO2 observations by using an Ensemble Kalman Filter for 7 years from 2009-2015. We then use the resulting surface fluxes to force a global chemistry transport model (GEOS-Chem) to simulate 3D atmospheric CO2 concentrations. We have also included validation of the resulting CO2 concentrations against independent observations. |

| Description | ALOS L-band SAR data to improve country-level carbon reporting in the forest sector |
| Organisation | Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency |
| Country | Japan |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | Developing countries would benefit greatly from having robust, spatially explicit estimates of forest above-ground biomass (AGB) to help them in reporting changes in their carbon stocks. This project seeks to develop and test methods to estimate stocks and changes in AGB using ALOS-1, ALOS-2 and ALOS-4 observations in Mozambique (Southern Africa). Currently, L-band SAR satellite observations are the most sensitive to forest structural properties. JAXA ALOS-1 and ALOS-2 global observations now cover a period of ~15 years (ALOS-1: 2006-2011, ALOS-2: 2014-present) and ALOS-4 will further extend this critical archive. Therefore, a systematic assessment of forest AGB stocks and changes now becomes possible, paving the way for the P-band SAR data from the ESA BIOMASS mission, which launches in 2023. This project builds upon previous research studies led by the University of Sheffield undertaken in the framework of the Kyoto and Carbon Initiative in phases 1, 2, 3 and 4. |
| Collaborator Contribution | NA |
| Impact | This project will develop and test methods at selected sites in Mozambique where reference observations are available and apply them to the full extent of the ALOS-1, ALOS-2 and potentially ALOS-4 imagery covering Mozambique to generate maps of forest AGB change. Particularly valuable would be the provision of time series of ALOS-4 fully-polarimetric acquisitions in interferometric mode, since such data will be routinely produced by the ESA BIOMASS mission (Quegan et al. 2019) and should allow development of a whole new range of methods to retrieve AGB and AGB change. We expect these methods to provide improved estimates of forest AGB and change in tropical dry forests, where AGB density is usually lower than the saturation value of L-band SAR observations. These activities must be considered in a broader perspective where L-band data are one of multiple Earth Observation streams that can be exploited to measure forest AGB and change. The results will also inform the acquisition strategy of future SAR missions, which, unlike past and current missions, have an explicit target of mapping and monitoring forest AGB (NISAR, TanDEM-L, BIOMASS). |

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.

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. |

| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | Provision of satellite data produced by my team on atmospheric ozone, aerosol and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) for comparisons with the TOMCAT chemical transport model and provision of NASA satellite data on surface biophysical variables, in support of development on the modelling side to represent better at global scale the interactions between atmospheric composition and land surface biophysical properties. Satellite data on PAR in particular helped in development of a new TOMCAT module. Satellite data with improved sensitivity to ozone in the lower troposphere will enable more critical assessment of the model representation of surface deposition through plant uptake. An initial analysis of satellite data on solar induced fluorescence (SIF) and PAR was also performed by my team, pointing towards future analyses of relationships between these variables, fPAR and global primary production (GPP) which will be facilitated by planned satellite missions. My team hosted the workshop for this project at RAL attended by a number of UK and international scientists active in the fields of plant health and pollution, atmosphere-biosphere interaction in climate and earth observation from space. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Prof. Lisa Emberson (U.York) led the project. U.York and U.Leeds collaborated closely in the linking of TOMCAT and DO3SE models, to utilise satellite data to better characterise land surface type in the model, to better represent ozone surface deposition and to represent PAR. |
| Impact | This activity helped to stimulate further interaction between U.Leeds and RAL in the comparison of satellite and model ozone distributions and their scientific exploitation in NCEO. A further grant application from this consortium to STFC Newton China fund has also resulted, although this was not successful. An STFC Proof of Concept grant was awarded to consolidate our near-real time satellite data processing system and to interact with several commercial partners in the air quality sector on their requirements. Collaboration with ULeeds in NCEO has continued to exploit our group's satellite data in studies of pollution. A bid has been submitted to Defra led by ULeeds with ULeicester and RAL partners for a pilot-project to assess use of satellite data to help improve UK National Annual Emissions Inventories. |

| Description | Space Enabled Monitoring of Illegal Gold Mining |
| Organisation | Carbomap Ltd |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | Illegal gold mining is a billion-dollar trade which causes devastating impacts on local communities and the environment. Mercury is used by illegal mining operations to extract the gold from the ore, it then enters the atmosphere through smelting operations in local towns, or seeps into the surrounding soil, rivers and the food chain causing serious health problems such as kidney failure, acute anaemia and brain damage in newborns. This project will enable authorities to increase their capabilities in the detection of illegal gold mining activity in remote forested areas, without putting their personnel at risk. The first barrier to stopping the illegal mining is locating where it is taking place and understanding the scale of the problem. The ability to identify potential areas for further investigation will support the Government's efforts to offer individuals working illegally the opportunity to comply with regulation and ensure that safe employment practices are adopted. In turn, this will help reduce the health-related effects of mercury contamination associated with illegal mining. Using freely available Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, and incorporating machine-learning techniques, the team intend to develop a software tool that could show suspected areas of illegal mining. We focus on the Technical development of radar remote sensing processing chain for Sentinel-1. |

| Organisation | Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency |
| Country | Japan |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | To develop and validate algorithms that combine LiDAR-derived AGB estimates and the backscatter intensity from L-band SAR data in Malaysian Borneo. Empirical and semi-empirical methods will be used to model forest AGB (from a combination of field and LiDAR data) against metrics generated from L-band SAR data. On this basis, forest AGB maps will be generated for the study area. The LiDAR-based AGB estimates are available for a given number of representative sites in the Malaysian Borneo. Spatially and temporally coincident L-band SAR data (i.e., ALOS PALSAR and ALOS-2 PALSAR-2) will be acquired and prior to modelling will be used to perform a sensitivity analysis to understand how L-band SAR backscatter intensity (HH and HV polarizations) changes as a function of forest AGB, and to evaluate potential saturation problems. |

| PI Contribution | Honorary Research Fellowships in the sub-Dept Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics have been held by Dr Matthew Christensen, Dr Gareth Thomas and Dr Brian Kerridge in recent years through which research activities of common interest to the Oxford EO Data Group and RAL Remote Sensing Group have been undertaken. These activities have centred on satellite remote-sensing of atmospheric trace gases and particulates. There has been close collaboration in development of the "ORAC" scheme to retrieve cloud and aerosol properties from satellite vis/ir imagers, the derivation of broad-band radiative fluxes and scientific exploitation of those data eg to assess aerosol-cloud interaction in climate. There has also been close collaboration in development of schemes to retrieve trace gas distributions from satellite ir spectrometers. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Our U.Oxford partners, under Prof. Grainger's lead, have provided a strong focus for development of ORAC and scientific exploitation of its satellite data products. They have, in particular, provided specialist expertise in radiative transfer modelling and retrieval theory underpinning the methods applied by our group for both trace gas and particulate sounding. |

Maps collected by airborne laser sensors have, for the first time, been used to successfully pinpoint indi-vidual trees affected by the deadly larch tree disease. The laser scanning surveys (LiDAR) were undertaken by aerial mapping company Bluesky, of Coalville, and used to model tree canopy height as part of a wider study to prove the effective use of the technology for disease identification and monitoring. Phytophthora ramorum is a fungus-like pathogen which causes extensive damage and mortality to a wide range of trees and other plants. Generically referred to as ramorum, the disease was first discovered in the UK in 2002 and has now spread to sites from Cornwall to Scotland, causing destruction in high-profile areas including Epping Forest and the Forest of Dean. |

| Results and Impact | I was invited by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), as host, by suggestion from BEIS to represent NCEO at the Earth Information Day of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) during Madrid's COP25. He presented a poster featuring NCEO's Carbon cycle: land, atmosphere & oceans, and Official Development Assistance (ODA) research. Earth Information Day provides an opportunity for Parties and non-Party stakeholders to meet with members of the systematic observation community to discuss the latest activities and exchange information on the state of the global climate system, Earth observation implementation, needs and services. The event was mandated at SBSTA 50, and its content is guided by previous mandates and submissions. The information and discussions presented may be used to inform negotiations. Earth Information Day is open to observers, and webcast. The themes covered by the event where i) Updates on the state of the global climate; ii) Updates on implementing Earth observation: for region and country support, and needs; and iii) The value chain: Earth observation for science, policy and practice. I presented a poster on the theme "Updates on implementing Earth observation: for region and country support, and needs" covering the most up-to-date NCEO research results on atmospheric and terrestrial carbon. The poster depicted results on the net carbon emissions from tropical Africa, top-down evaluation of country-scale CH4 emissions, country-wide estimation of biomass carbon stocks, and characterization of vegetation sinks/sources at national scale. The event was structured in two oral sessions and a panel discussion in the morning, and one poster session in the afternoon. Relevant speakers from the WMO, IPCC, CEOS, and GCOS, among others, presented updates on their work |

| Results and Impact | Press release: Space technology is being deployed to help protect the world's forests. The UK Space Agency and an international consortium of scientists, including from the University of Leicester, are joining forces to watch over 300 million hectares of tropical forest - an area 12 times the size of the UK. The Leicester team will lead the development of forest change detection systems for the consortium, Ecometrica. It will aim to identify small-scale changes caused by agriculture, mining and illegal logging that can be dif-ficult to detect by other means. Data for the work will come from the European Space Agency's Sentinel satellites. It estimated improved systems could contribute to between four million and six million hectares of forest being saved over a decade. |

For instance, we used a thermal infrared camera to look at warm and cold water masses to represent how satellites observe ocean currents. We also got children to place different coloured filters over lambs which were connected to an electromagnetic sensor. This got the children realizing we could measure the properties of colours (i.e. wavelength) and how we use this information seen by satellite to observe different properties of the Earth. |

Following success of GOME-1, three subsequent instruments GOME-2A, -2B & -2C have been built to span 1995-2020. Successor instruments are planned to fly in polar orbit and geostationary orbit from 2020-2040 in the Sentinel series. Observations from this series of satellite instruments are informing international assessments of stratospheric ozone evolution and climate change. They are also ingested by operational centres including the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service for forecasts of surface uv and air quality. |
