Optische Flugzeugfernerkundung für Europa - Das fliegende Auge

Trotz Konkurrenz durch Satelliten: Erdbeobachtung aus der Luft ist für die Forschung unverzichtbar. Mit seinen Instituten in Oberpfaffenhofen und seinen Flugzeugen übernimmt das DLR dabei in Europa eine führende Rolle

FASA - Fire Airborne Spectral Analysis of Natural Disasters

At present the authors are developing the system FASA, an airborne combination of a Fourier Transform Spectrometer and an imaging system. The aim is to provide a system that is usable to investigate and monitor emissions from natural disasters such as wild fires and from volcanoes. Besides temperatures and (burned) areas FASA will also provide concentration profiles of the gaseous combustion products. These data are needed to improve the knowledge of the effects of such emissions on the global ecosystem. The paper presents a description of the instrumentation, the data evaluation procedure and shows first results of retrieval calculations based on simulated spectra
