Earthshine: A deep-space small satellite to examine the Sun-Earth connection
, Pages: 543-553The Earth-Sun-Heliosphere Interactions Experiment (EARTHSHINE) mission will be the first deep-space mission designed, developed and executed solely by the UK. Providing a novel concept for a low-cost, fast, responsive project, EARTHSHINE builds on the UK's past involvement in small satellite development. Each of EARTHSHINE's four instruments is carefully designed to answer key questions about how Earth's climate and space environment are influenced by the Sun. EARTHSHINE will have a unique and continuous view of the dayside of the Earth yielding accurate measurements of the Earth's albedo and will simultaneously monitor the electromagnetic, particle and field outputs of the Sun. A coherent design philosophy is presented here based on the requirements that the spacecraft be simple, robust, have minimal operations workload and be based almost entirely on existing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment. This is achieved by using autonomous systems and on-board processing, thereby reducing operations to an absolute minimum. Many of the spacecraft systems processing duties have been integrated into the EADS Astrium UNIONICS package. The mission will also be the first to use Astrium's new UNIWIND carbon fibre structure which greatly simplifies the construction. The result is a highly independent, low mass (< 130kg) deep-space satellite that is scheduled to be launched in 2007. Copyright © 2003 by the International Astronautical Federation.

The role of atlantic ocean-atmosphere coupling in affecting North Atlantic oscillation variability
, Geophysical Monograph Series, Pages: 147-172We review the role of ocean-atmosphere interactions over the Atlantic sector in North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) variability. The emphasis is on physical mechanisms, which are illustrated in simple models and analyzed in observations and numerical models. Some directions of research are proposed to better assess the relevance of Atlantic air-sea interactions to observed and simulated NAO variability.

Traceable Radiometry Underpinning Terrestrial- and Helio-Studies (truths)
, Symposium on Calibration, Characterization of Satellite Sensors, Physical Parameters Derived from Satellite Data, Pages: 2253-2261The Traceable Radiometry Underpinning Terrestrial- and Helio- Studies (TRUTHS) mission offers a novel approach to the provision of key scientific data with unprecedented radiometric accuracy for Earth Observation (EO) and solar studies, which will also establish well-calibrated reference targets/standards to support other EO missions. This paper presents the TRUTHS mission and its objectives. TRUTHS will be the first satellite mission to calibrate its EO instrumentation directly to SI in orbit, overcoming the usual uncertainties associated with drifts of sensor gain and spectral shape by using an electrical rather than an optical standard as the basis of its calibration. The range of instruments flown as part of the payload will also provide accurate input data to improve atmospheric radiative transfer codes by anchoring boundary conditions, through simultaneous measurements of aerosols, particulates and radiances at various heights. Therefore, TRUTHS will significantly improve the performance and accuracy of EO missions with broad global or operational aims, as well as more dedicated missions. The provision of reference standards will also improve synergy between missions by reducing errors due to different calibration biases and offer cost reductions for future missions by reducing the demands for on-board calibration systems. Such improvements are important for the future success of strategies such as Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) and the implementation and monitoring of international treaties such as the Kyoto Protocol. TRUTHS will achieve these aims by measuring the geophysical variables of solar and lunar irradiance, together with both polarised and unpolarised spectral radiance of the Moon, Earth and its atmosphere.
