ILRC26 - International Laser Radar Conference
Date: 30 January 2012
The "International Laser Radar Conference" will take place on 25-29 June 2012, in Porto Heli, Greece
The Conference is held biennially under the oversight of the International Coordination-group for Laser Atmospheric Studies (ICLAS) and of the International Radiation Commission (IRC). The Conference will be cohosted and supported by the National Technical University of Athens, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Mariolopoulos-Kanaginis Foundation for the Environmental Sciences, Greece. It is also supported by the European Space Agency (ESA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and many national/international partners and agencies. This time the Conference goes "green" aiming at reducing its environmental impact (carbon footprint) through a series of actions and implementations and ideas to be "taken away at their home" by the participants.
For the 26th ILRC, we will encourage presentations on traditional remote sensing themes, but will also increase emphasis on several topics, including the role of laser remote sensing in areas associated with climate change related to aerosol properties (e.g. documenting climate change, improving understanding of forcing mechanisms, and assessing impacts of climate change), potential application of new advances in optical device technology, and laser remote sensing of the ocean and earth surface properties from various platforms.
ILRC26 topics
The program will be organized around the following themes:
- Advances in lidar techniques and new methodologies
- Atmospheric winds and turbulence
- Atmospheric boundary layer and meteorology
- Tropospheric and lower stratospheric dynamics and transport
- Middle atmosphere physics and chemistry
- Solid Earth, Ocean, Land surface and other applications
- Space-based missions, validation and global monitoring
- Combining lidar measurements and analysis with other techniques
- Water vapor-temperature-trace gases and air quality
- Lidar networks and assimilation of observations into forecast models
- Aerosol characterization – Cloud microphysics – Radiative properties and Global Change
- Applications of lidars in historical building restorations and lidar educational activities.
