About Centre national de la recherche scientifique
The National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) is a major player in basic research on the global stage and the only organisation in France that is active in all fields of science. Its unique position as a specialist in multiple fields means that it can bring together different scientific disciplines to shed light on and gain insight into current global challenges, in partnership with public sector, social and economic stakeholders. Together the sciences are used to bring about sustainable progress that benefits the whole of society.
CNRS and SCARBOn
In the SCARBOn project, CNRS is mainly involved through the activities of the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD) which brings its expertise in remote sensing of Earth athmosphere to the development and validation of the NanoCarb sensor. LMD tasks include conducting a detailed performance assessment of the NanoCarb-S (space) instrument, verifying it meets required specifications for greenhouse gas detection. LMD plays a crucial role in validating the NanoCarb's overall performance through comprehensive simulations and calibration activities, ensuring that the instrument can effectively monitor GHG emissions from space.
