    Measuring CO2 from Space: the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) Mission

    Measuring CO2 from Space: the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) Mission

    Presenter: David Crisp

    October 9, 2007 02:30 PM Pacific

    The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) is currently scheduled for launch in December 2008. This NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) mission will make spatially resolved measurements of CO2 over the sunlit hemisphere the Earth. These measurements will be analyzed with chemical tracer transport models to retrieve CO2 sources and sinks on regional scales and quantify their variability over the seasonal cycle. This seminar will describe the mission objectives, approach, and anticipated products.

    Without a Polycom...There are two ways to participate:

    1) You can listen to the seminar on the telephone while viewing the slides in WebEx (see WebEx instructions above). The NASA conference phone number will be displayed when joining the WebEx meeting.

    2) You can watch the Realplayer webcast at: http://vanseg-1.arc.nasa.gov/2007/AB071009-01.ram and view the slides in WebEx (see WebEx instructions above) There is a 30 second delay for the webcast, so you will need to control the slides manually using the arrow buttons in WebEx. Questions for the speaker can be posted in the WebEx chat area to be answered at the end of the talk. Do not try to watch the Realplayer webcast at the same time as the Polycom or the phone. Due to the delay in the webcast, it will sound awful, unless you like dissonance
