(Presenting)
The Atmospheric Carbon dioxide Observations from Space (ACOS) task applies the CO2 retrieval algorithms developed for the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) mission to data acquired by JAXA’s Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT). First results from the ACOS team exhibit systematically low values for the column averaged CO2 dry air mole fraction (XCO2) when compared to validation standards. We describe the ACOS XCO2 data products, their format, and expected delivery schedule for community use. We also describe the algorithm improvements that have been made and are planned for the future, the XCO2 data validation process, and the impacts that this work will have on future space-based CO2 measurement missions.
