| Acronym | CHARM-F |
| Description | CHARM-F is an airborne integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) lidar for operation aboard research aircraft. This unique lidar system is capable of measuring the column concentration of the two most important anthropogenically influenced greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), below the aircraft at the same time. CHARM-F was developed as a scientific instrument to help understanding the distribution of those greenhouse gases on local and regional scales and their cycles, but also as an airborne demonstrator for the German-French methane mission MERLIN. As such it furthermore constitutes an essential component for the validation of MERLIN. |
