Remote Sensing of CH4 and CO2 from Space: The Expanding Observing System
Remote Sensing of CH4 and CO2 from Space: The Expanding Observing System
Session ID#: 248327
Session Description:
This session explores the impact of remote sensing observations of atmospheric methane, carbon dioxide, and related quantities on the understanding of processes driving variability in sources and sinks at local to global scales. The range of sensors in the current system now includes TROPOMI, CarbonMapper, MethaneSAT, GHGSat, OCO-2, OCO-3, GOSAT and GOSAT-2. Additionally, next-generation platforms planned such as MicroCarb, GOSAT-GW, and CO2M are set to dramatically improve observational capabilities. These space-based sensors, when joined by an expanding range of in-situ and ground-based observational efforts, herald an age of great opportunity for fundamental breakthroughs. We call for submissions of analysis of existing datasets, descriptions of coming sensors and innovative measurement approaches, advances in retrieval algorithms, development of gridded fields, and data analysis / modeling tools that target existing and future observations.
