The Research Component aims to support the development of science and technology; foster the continual development of a critical mass of researchers and highly qualified people in Canada; and support information gathering and space-related studies and research pertaining to Canadian Space Agency priorities., agreement title english : Quantifying Trends in Top-down Estimates of CO and Nox, agreement title french : Quantification des tendances dans les estimations descendantes du CO et des Nox, agreement number : 21SUASQTTE, agreement value : 249700.0, agreement start date : 2021-03-22, agreement end date : 2025-03-31, description english : Air pollution regulations have led to dramatic reductions in emissions of CO and NOx, but studies using atmospheric observations to quantify these reductions produce a wide range of emission estimates. The proposed project will use a multi-model and multi-sensor approach to quantify potential sources of discrepancies that contribute to uncertainty in the emission estimates. The project will focus on using space-based measurements to better quantify emissions of CO globally and of NOx in North America. Improved estimates of the emissions of CO and NOx are critical for assessing the effectiveness of air pollution regulations., description french : Les réglementations sur la pollution atmosphérique ont conduit à des réductions spectaculaires des émissions de CO et de NOx, mais les études utilisant les observations atmosphériques pour quantifier ces réductions produisent un large éventail d'estimations des émissions. Le projet proposé utilisera une approche multi-modèles et multi-capteurs pour quantifier les sources potentielles de divergences qui contribuent à l'incertitude des estimations d'émissions. Le projet se concentrera sur l'utilisation de mesures spatiales pour mieux quantifier les émissions de CO dans le monde et de NOx en Amérique du Nord. De meilleures estimations des émissions de CO et de NOx sont essentielles pour évaluer l'efficacité des règlements sur la pollution atmosphérique., expected results english : The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future., expected results french : Le volet Recherche du programme offre aux organisations une aide financière qui leur permettra de mener leurs activités de recherche et développement spatiales dans des secteurs prioritaires. Ce volet appuiera le développement des connaissances et l’innovation dans les domaines ciblés de manière à soutenir et à accroître la capacité du Canada d’utiliser l’espace pour répondre aux besoins et aux priorités du pays dans le futur., additional information english : The amount allocated covers more than one fiscal year., additional information french : La somme allouée couvre plus d'un exercice financier., owner organization : csa-asc, owner organization title : Canadian Space Agency | Agence spatiale canadienne
