ARISE Project

The ARISE project is a collaborative infrastructure Design Study project funded by the FP7 European Commission under the Capacities Programme.

It started in January 2012 and its duration will be three years.

Technologies

Infrasound network of CTBTO

LIDAR of the NDACC network

Airglow observations of the NDMC network

The project will also use national stations/networks and satellite observations.

Science

ARISE proposes to provide a new 3D image of atmospheric disturbances from infrasonic disturbances as volcanoes, thunderstorms, cyclones, up to large scale atmospheric waves as tides and planetary waves with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution.

Impacts

ARISE measurements will be used for improving stratosphere-resolving climate models, for monitoring middle atmosphere climate, for civil applications related to monitoring of naturals hazards.
