OCO-2 target measurements over Sodankylä TCCON station – 20 August 2015

Hello,

I wanted to share an animation showing what  NASA's OCO-2 instrument measured on target mode over Sodankylä TCCON site on 20 August 2015:

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

Cheers,
Janne
