Session Title Remote sensing of solar system bodies from microwave to infrared wavelengths
Main Convener Dr. Paul Hartogh (Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Germany)
Co-convener(s) Dr. Yasuko Kasai (National Institute of Information and Communicatio, Japan)
Session Description This session will address all aspects of investigations of the terrestrial and other atmospheres in the solar system as well as surfaces of solar system bodies, using remote sensing techniques in the cm, mm, submm and infrared wavelengths range. This includes new ground-based, air- and spaceborne instrument developments, development proposals and related topics (i.e. frontends, backends, receivers, spectrometers, interferometers, components, mechanisms, concepts, calibration, the baseline problem, etc.), radiative transfer and retrieval simulations (uplooking, nadir, limb), new observations (Earth, planets, comets, moons, asteroids, KBOs, etc.), their validation, analysis and interpretation (e.g. atmospheric dynamics, chemistry and evolution, surface mineralogy, thermo-physical properties, regolith studies etc.)
