Global XCO2 anomalies 2015-2017


OCO-2 XCO2 anomalies 2014-2016


Mean OCO-2 XCO2 anomalies, for three different study areas (top row). Mean tropospheric OMI NO2 columns (middle row). OCO-2 and OMI data are taken between September 2014 and April 2016. ODIAC emission inventory map from the year 2014 (bottom row). The spatial resolution is 1° × 1°. Below there’s a little video from Science Museum of Virginia explaining how the anomaly approach work:



OCO-2 on target mode over FMI Sodankylä 2015


Sodankylä is one of the OCO-2 target stations, i.e., once in awhile during one orbit, the instrument targets Sodankylä and measures back and forth over it. All those OCO-2 XCO2 measurements shown in the animation were performed in about four minutes on 20 August 2015. During that day Sodankylä's TCCON FTS instrument measured XCO2 of about 394.5 ppm.

Smoke to Europe from East and West 2015


Those clouds are smoke from Alaska and Canada, and came here from East and West. See also the "Smoke Goes Around the World" by NASA's Earth Observatory website.

Holuhraun fissure eruption 2014


SO2 total columns as seen from OMI TRL product during the Holuhraun fissure eruption for six days in September 2014. The dates (day/month) are indicated in the title of each panel. The blue crosses indicate the location of Sodankylä ground-based station.


Wildfire in Sweden 2014


OMPS/SAMPO observes moving aersol cloud in four overpasses. The cloud is probably originating from Swedish wildfires.
