ARISE Project

The ARISE2 project is a collaborative infrastructure Design Study project (2015-2018) funded by the H2020 European Commission. It includes 24 institutes and universities, belonging to 10 European member states, 3 associated countries, 1 international organization and 3 African countries.

Technologies

Infrasound IMS network and European infrasound network (atmospheric waves and inversions in the stratosphere)

LIDAR of the NDACC network (stratospheric wind and temperature)

The project will also use complementary stations including radars, wind radiometers and ionospheric sounders. It also use satellite observations.

Science

ARISE proposes to provide a new 3D image of atmospheric disturbances in the troposphere, stratosphere and mesosphere. It includes infrasonic disturbances from 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 and weather forecasting models, for monitoring middle atmosphere climate, for civil applications related to monitoring of naturals hazards such as distant non instrumented volcanoes.
