NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is developing an active laser approach for global atmospheric CO2 concentration measurement from space as a candidate for NASA's future mission ASCENDS - the Active Sensing of CO2 Emissions over Nights, Days, and Seasons. This pulsed laser approach provides several advantages with respect to passive approaches and other laser techniques toward high-precision CO2 concentration...
Accurate global measurements of tropospheric Carbon Dioxide abundance to the “parts per million” (ppm) level is required to better quantify processes that regulate CO2 exchange between atmosphere, land and ocean. To measure CO2 globally NASA has planned the ASCENDS mission, Active Sensing of CO2 Emissions over Nights, Days and Seasons. We report on an airborne laser-based remote sensing instrument...
We have demonstrated airborne measurements of CO2 column absorption at 1571.4 nm from 10 km altitudes with a wavelength-scanned lidar using a pulsed diode-seeded EDFA transmitter and a photon counting receiver.
