Call
The Third International DOAS Workshop will be held at the University of Bremen March 20-22 of 2006. It will cover all aspects of Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy from technical developments to applications in different fields of atmospheric research and related scientific areas:We invite contributions - oral and posters - for the above topics as well as suggestions for discussion (in smaller groups) on subjects of particular interest. We'd also appreciate if you could forward this email to other colleagues who may be interested in the Workshop.
- New developments in DOAS instrumentation (e.g. imaging DOAS, tomographic DOAS, multi-axis DOAS, ...)
- Measurements from different platforms (ground-based, ship-borne, air-borne, balloons, satellite, ...)
- Progress in DOAS data analysis (e.g. IR DOAS, profile retrieval, limb-DOAS, ...)
- Improvements in radiative transfer calculations for DOAS applications (multi-axis geometry, clouds, aerosols)
- Applications of DOAS measurements (e.g.. stratospheric chemistry, pollution monitoring, halogen chemistry, synergistic use of models and measurements, industrial applications, extraterrestrial applications, ...)
- Validation of satellite DOAS measurements

Bremen can be reached by train, by air or by car. Both the airport and the central train station are connected to the University via tram no 6 (direction "Universität"). Tickets (2.- euro) can be bought at the driver. The trip to the stop "Universität, Naturwissenschaften 1" takes about 30 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from the train station. A sketch of how to find the Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) from the tram stop can be viewed here.
There are many nice and affordable hotels in Bremen. If you can deal with some German, you might want to check the Bremen hotel search engine.
One option is the Hotel Munte which is located in walking distance from the University. We have made a block reservation with a special rate there (80.- Euro per night for a single, 97.- Euro for a double room including breakfast and access to the swimming pool). Please make sure to book before February 27 and make reference to the block reservation "DOAS-WS".
There also is a Youth Hostel and several Backpacker Hostels for those looking for a less expensive place to stay.
