First European community Campaign for remote sensing of atmospheric pollution, LACQ (France), 7–11 July 1975
Abstract As a part of its first environment research programme (1973–1975) the Commission of the European Communities (CEC) wanted to foster scientific collaboration between various European teams dealing with ground-based apparatus for the remote sensing of atmospheric pollution through a campaign of simultaneous measurements of the pollution in the same area using a variety of equipment in order to: (1) Compare, in real conditions, the commercially available instruments and some laboratory prototypes which can measure, from ground level, either the total amount of a given pollutant in a vertical cylinder above the instrument or the average pollutant concentration along a long path between a light source and the sensor. (2) To assess the relevance of the information given by remote sensing techniques and to compare the results with those obtained from a ground network of chemical sensors. (3) To determine the areas in which further research is necessary to quantitatively interpret the remote sensing results in order to understand the dynamics of atmospheric pollution. With the agreement of the French Société Nationale des Pétroles d'Aquitaine (SNPA), the gas plant situated at Lacq (France) was used as a reference SO2 source, at a constant emission rate for a period of five days. Eight teams from France, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the Joint Research Centre participated in this campaign. The cooperation of many teams with their various instruments was very fruitful and enhanced the reliability of the remote sensing results from ground-based instruments. These techniques are worthwhile pursuing by the development of mobile Laboratories managed by people experienced in the interpretation of meteorological data, in order to avoid the possibility of misinterpretation of remote sensing results. The survey of polluted areas or the impact study before the installation of polluting factories in any area would be easier and more reliable using the common results and data analysis from different mobile laboratories and instruments. This report indicates the main conclusions from this first campaign which has been followed by others with the object of studying different pollution problems.
