Recent and Current Projects

  • 2016-ongoing

Spatial-temporal distribution of the atmosphere contamination by fine mode aerosols in the East-European region on the base of joint radiometer and lidar measurements and modelling

A project purpose is to determine the spatial-temporal distribution and descriptions of aerosol fine mode particles which have mainly an anthropogenic origin, in the atmosphere over Ukraine, Belarus and adjusted regions of Eastern Europe. Fine mode aerosol particles of sub-micron size are able to influence substantially on distribution of Sun radiation in the atmosphere and on water vapor condensation and cloud formation. In the project data of the ground-based and satellite observations will be used for modeling of aerosol distribution and transfer, taking into account the chemical transformations by using chemistry-transport model GEOS-Chem. http://contest.dffd.gov.ua/node/27660

  • 2011-ongoing

Aerosol-UA space mission for remote sensing of atmospheric aerosols

Ukrainian space project Aerosol-UA aimed in providing information on the terrestrial atmospheric aerosol spatial distribution and microphysics to quantify the aerosol contribution to the climate change and planet energy budget modeling. The aerosol remote sensing concept of the project is based on precise orbital measurements of the intensity and polarization of sunlight scattered by the atmosphere and the surface by the scanning polarimeter ScanPol accompanied by the wide-angle multispectral imager-polarimeter MSIP. Advantages of the project will be provided by several features: (1) polarization is a relative measurement that can be made accurately; (2) polarimetric ScanPol measurements can stably calibrated on the orbit; (3) polarization change with scattering angle and wavelength gives information on size, refractive index and shape of aerosol; (4) synergy of scanner and imager will produce new quality of data on aerosol properties. The project Aerosol-UA is planned to be realized at new satellite platform developed in Yuzhnoye SDO. http://aerosol-ua.mao.kiev.ua/index.php/en/main

Ozone monitoring at GAW station Kyiv-Goloseyev

The Kyiv-Goloseyev ozone monitoring Regional GAW station No. 498 (GAW ID KGV) with the Dobson ozone spectrophotometer D040 has been established by Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (KNU) in collaboration with the Main Astronomical Observatory (MAO) NAS of Ukraine. The scientific team in charge of atmospheric chemistry observations at the station: Space Physics Laboratory of KNU and Laboratory for Atmospheric Optics of MAO included 7 scientists total, who joined in the United Laboratory of Atmospheric Optics and Aerosol of KNU and MAO. PI for the station and research: Dr Gennadi Milinevsky. http://antarctica.org.ua/ozone.html
