Abstract

Geostationary mapping of carbon monoxide (CO) with multi-layer vertical resolution on 7 × 7 km footprints over the N and S American Continents and with 1 hour repeat time is a goal of the NRC Decadal Research Survey GEO-CAPE mission [1]. With support from the NASA ESTO Instrument Incubator Program (IIP) we have demonstrated Tropospheric Infrared Mapping Spectrometers (TIMS) operating at 2330 and 4680 nm that can achieve this goal. Here we show atmospheric data acquired by the 2330 TIMS in a deployment on an airship that reinforces the conclusion above. We discuss a concept for the GEO-CAPE application.
