ACE Team

The ACE Science definition team is doing a series of studies to help define the instrument requirements. Below is a list of the studies and leads. STM means science traceability matrix.
  • STM: Aerosols Refine & Prioritize - Lorraine Remer
  • STM: Ocean Biogeochem Refine & Priorize - Chuck McClain
  • STM: Clouds Refine & Prioritize - Graeme Stephens
  • STM: Air Quality Refine & Prioritize - Lawrence Freidl or designee, Pete Colarco
  • Cooperative Retrieval Methodologies - Chuck McClain
  • Joint Campaign Planning Plan Joint Field - Jens Redemann
  • Modeling Studies / OSSEs - Pete Colarco
  • Multi-beam Lidar Ocean Assess value of multi-beam lidar aerosol characterization for ocean biogeochemistry retrieval improvement - Menghua Wang, Judd Welton
  • Scanning Radar Assess value of scanning radar on cloud property retrievals - Simone Tanelli, Gerry Heymsfield
  • High Spectral Resolution Lidar Assess value of HSRL aerosol characterization for CTM and climate model improvement - Chris Hostetler, Matt McGill, Pete Colarco
  • Frequency Choice for Radar Assess value of various frequencies for radar cloud properties retrievals - Gerry Heymsfield, Simone Tanelli, Graeme Stephens
  • Polarimeter Definition (Atmospheric) Define polarimeter performance characteristics - Dave Diner, Ann Fridlind, Michael Mishchenko
  • Polarimeter / Ocean color in Single Instrument Investigate the possibility of making polarimeter/imager measurements of aerosols, ocean color and clouds from a single instrument - Zia Ahmed
