Published purpose

This project will support the Geostationary Carbon Cycle Observatory (GeoCarb), a joint NASA-The University of Oklahoma collaboration. GeoCarb will provide daily mapping of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) over the Americas. This mapping capability is truly unprecedented and therefore requires improved satellite validation methods and modeling. This project will provide support to GeoCarb for satellite validation and modernize the atmospheric models needed to respond to and prepare for these new and exciting challenges.
