REMOSAT
Research group for Remote sEnsing and MOdeling of Surface and ATmosphere (REMOSAT)
- Group leader: Assoc. Prof. Ngo Duc Thanh, USTH
- Location: Room 612, USTH building, VAST Campus, 18 Hoang Quoc Viet, Cau Giay, Hanoi
1. History and Objectives
The research laboratory of the Department of Space and Aeronautics, REMOSAT, was set up in 2016. REMOSAT stands for Remote sEnsing and MOdeling of Surface and ATmosphere. Targeting international standards, REMOSAT is expected to have significant contributions to the development of research and applications related to remote sensing and modeling in Vietnam, as well as to the teaching and training programs of USTH. The lab is being developed, focusing on the 3 following axes:
- Earth observations and modeling,
- Satellite technologies,
- Astrophysics.
In the next five years (2016-2020), REMOSAT is projected to become a strong research group in remote sensing and modeling with at least 5 permanent Vietnamese PhD researchers and obtain a strong support and collaboration with French and international colleagues. REMOSAT will develop its capabilities to prepare the best conditions required at the future USTH Hoa Lac campus.
2. Partnership
- Vietnamese partners: researchers from
- Hanoi National University of Education (Department of Physics)
- Vietnam National Satellite Center (VNSC-VAST)
- Institute of Geophysics –VAST
- VNU Hanoi University of Science
- USTH WEO and ICT Departments
- International partners: researchers from
- French Space Agency (CNES)
- Observatoire de Paris
- Université Paris Diderot
- Université Paris-Est Créteil (Laboratoire Interuniversitaires des Systèmes Atmosphériques (UPEC-LISA)
- Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la BIOsphère (CESBIO)
- Tokyo Metropolitan University
3. Funding sources
- 01 Objectif Labo project (50 K€)
- NAFOSTED (to be finalized with NAFOSTED)
4. Equipment
The cluster computing system co-invested and co-used with the Hanoi International Laboratory of Oceanography (HILO) group and the Land-Ocean-aTmosphere regional coUpled System study center (LOTUS).
5. Ongoing research activities
Several research projects are under construction and implementation, including:
- Regional climate Modeling and Climate Change projections: This research topic will be conducted under the framework of the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment - Southeast Asia (CORDEX-SEA), a regional collaborative effort with the participations from key modeling researchers in the SEA countries, including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The research on surface-atmosphere, ocean-atmosphere coupling systems will be particularly emphasized. Satellite data will remarkably serve as model inputs as well as be used for model validation.
- Development of a remote sensing data center and associated services to promote researches and applications of remote sensing data in Vietnam.
- Laboratory Infrared instrumentation for space and environmental science applications, aiming at implementing a small infrared laboratory for high precision spectroscopic measurements on gaseous molecular compounds relevant for atmospheric pollution and climate change.
