Measuring Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide from Space in Support of Climate Related Studies
Start Date:
May 24, 2022
End Date:
June 2, 2022
Description:
This introductory webinar series will provide an overview of atmospheric CO2measurements from space with the OCO-2 and OCO-3 satellite missions. It will include a theoretical portion that will describe the instrument, how the measurement is made, & the characteristics of the measurement as well as the type of climate studies that such measurements can support. There will be a practical session where participants will learn how to access, search, filter & display XCO2 data using Jupyter Notebook.
Targeted Audience:
This webinar series is intended for local, regional, federal, and non-governmental organizations from climate agencies to use CO2 remote sensing data in climate studies.
Expected Outcomes:
By the end of this training attendees will be able to:
-Understand the characteristics and limitations of XCO2 measurements from space.
-Understand the type of climate studies that these measurements can support.
-Be able to open and visualize XCO2 data from OCO-2.
