| Session Description | This session will address all aspects of investigations of the terrestrial and other atmospheres in the solar system and beyond as well as surface properties 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, new observations (Earth, planets, comets, moons, asteroids, KBOs, etc. from the ground, airborne and spaceborne), their validation, analysis and interpretation (e.g. atmospheric dynamics, chemistry and evolution, surface mineralogy, thermo-physical properties, regolith studies etc.) |
