The Laboratory, formerly the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] Marine Environment Laboratory, was established in 1961 in Monaco as part of the IAEA Department of Research and Isotopes and is the only marine laboratory within the United Nations system. It responds to regular requests for technical assistance from other United Nations agencies and programmes, such as the United Nations Environment Programme, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization and the International Maritime Organization. Nevertheless, the promotion of nuclear and isotopic techniques and the improved understanding of marine radioactivity continue to be central to the Laboratory's work. 1, record 1, English, - Marine%20Environmental%20Studies%20Laboratory

The Aircraft to Satellite Data Relay(ASDAR) programme is sponsored by an International meteorological group in order to augment the collection of upper air meteorological data, and thereby improve the accuracy of global weather forescasting. It has been developed by Matra Marconi Space, UK in collaboration with the WMO to enable aircraft to generate and transmit real-time meteorological reports via geostationary meteorological satellites for global relay. It is an automated system offering significant advantages, including reduced crew responsibility delays and errors. ASDAR, operating in conjunction with meteorological satellites, has proved to be a versatile tool in obtaining meteorological data automatically from flights over both oceans and continents, especially over areas not serviced by meteorological stations. In addition, during the ascent and descent phases of the aircraft, observations at regular pressure intervals provide a detailed vertical atmospheric temperature profile near the airports. The meteorological data provided by this system has proved to be very useful for improving the weather forecasting service. 1, record 4, English, - Aircraft%20to%20Satellite%20Data%20Relay

The initiation of the EARSEC programme saw the development of sophisticated airborne SAR and electro-optical sensors, requiring equally sophisticated software to provide end-users with reliable products. The SAR processors were seen as an opportunity to develop software that could easily be used by regular, non-specialist users, whilst retaining great flexibility to allow detailed tuning and configuration by more scientifically expert investigators. This dual role has been adopted throughout the EARSEC processing environment allowing a wide user base to be satisfied. 3, record 6, English, - European%20Airborne%20Remote%20Sensing%20Capability
