Prof. Dr. Klaus Schäfer

Improvement of emission inventories and air quality studies by remote sensing: diffuse emissions by open-path spectrometry of gas plumes and inverse dispersion modelling as well as by big enclosures (500 m²)
hot exhaust emissions by passive spectrometry (see Carsten Jahn also)
air pollutants, greenhouse gases, fine dust and tracer in ambient air by in situ techniques, FTIR and DOAS (see Carsten Jahn and Maria Hoffmann also)
particulate concentrations near surface by satellite image monitoring (SPOT, Landsat)
mixing layer heights by SODAR and ceilometer (see Stefan Emeis also)
Development of FTIR emission spectrometry for passive remote sensing: spectra retrieval software MAPS on the basis of line-by-line calculations, development of calibration methods, scanning imaging spectrometry
