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#: 281045
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 includes veteran sensors TROPOMI, CarbonMapper, GHGSat, OCO-2, OCO-3, GOSAT and GOSAT-2. Additionally, next-generation platforms such as MicroCarb, GOSAT-GW (launched in 2025), and CO2M (set for 2028) are set to dramatically improve observational capabilities. These space-based sensors, in addition to an expanding range of in-situ and ground-based observational efforts, present an enormous opportunity for fundamental breakthroughs. We call for submissions focused on existing datasets, first results from new sensors, descriptions of coming sensors and innovative measurement approaches, advances in retrieval algorithms, and data analysis / modeling tools that target existing and future observations.
