A31N:
Remote Sensing of CH4 and CO2 from Space: Moving toward an Observing System I

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 16388

Session Description:
This session explores the impact of remote sensing observations of atmospheric methane, carbon dioxide, and related geophysical quantities on the understanding of processes driving variability in emissions and uptake at local, regional, and global scales.   The existing greenhouse-gas satellites GOSAT and OCO-2 satellite are expected to be joined by TanSat and TROPOMI in 2016. With the availability of these data and other existing (e.g., SCIAMACHY, GOSAT, TES, AIRS, IASI), space-based sensors, together with an expanding range of in-situ observational efforts, we are entering an age of great opportunity for fundamental breakthroughs. However, many scientific, technical, and computational challenges remain if we are to fully exploit these measurements. We call for submissions of analysis of existing datasets, outlining innovative measurement approaches, advances in retrieval algorithms, and data analysis / modeling tools that target these new and existing observations.
