The FIRMOS team is currently in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada to take part to the WHAFFERS field campaign.

WHAFFFERS (W-band, HiSRAMS, AERI, FIRR-2, FINESSE and FIRMOS Experiment on Remote Sensing) is a multi-platform, multi-frequency field campaign conducted in Canada to address the measurement gap of far-infrared satellite observations in preparation for future European and Canadian space missions. This project is funded by the European Space Agency and will bring together scientists and researchers from numerous universities and organizations in Europe and Canada.

FIRMOS has been deployed at the Aerospace Research Centre of the National Research Council Canada (NRC) in Ottawa and will be measuring from the ground the down-welling atmospheric radiance spectrum for the next month.

Below is a quick look of the measurements taken on January 15, 2025.
