Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2)

OCO-2 is designed to provide space-based global measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) with the precision and resolution needed to identify and characterize the processes that regulate this important greenhouse gas. With its three high-resolution grating spectrometers, data collected by OCO-2 could be combined with meteorological observations and ground-based CO2measurement to help characterize CO2 sources and sinks on regional scales at monthly intervals for two years.
