COCOA is a geostationary, hyperspectral mission that is focused on the coastal carbon cycle. It is one of several white papers submitted to the Decadal Survey that informed the GEO-CAPE mission. It is the only one oriented toward coastal ocean science. – submitted by Janet Campbell at 2008-05-07 10:16:34
During the design study by JPL for the COCOA mission (submitted as a candidate mission to the decadal survey), we considered the feasibility of having thermal IR measurements. It was considered to be quite costly and increased the weight of the payload as well as the need for cooling capability (that is my understanding). Hence it was ruled out. – submitted by Janet Campbell at 2008-04-30 10:28:53
If the spectral modes are still up for grabs, what about thermal bands? – submitted by Ajit Subramaniam at 2008-04-28 14:51:33
The other side of the high temporal variability story is the ability to composite images through clouds - i.e. in regions of high cloudiness - the ITCZ, places where there is formation of marine layers/fog, being able to sample through the day will greatly improve coverage.
What kind of pointing ability will this have? Can you see the coast off Valparaiso one minute and Gulf of Maine the next? – submitted by Ajit Subramaniam at 2008-04-28 14:49:05
We'll have a poster, #174, on GEO-CAPE up Monday morning if you want a little more detail. – submitted by Stephan (Randy) Kawa at 2008-04-25 16:46:12
