The goal of this workshop is to assess the latest science and technologies in spaceborne measurement of greenhouse gases. In addition to the results of ongoing activities in this community, the workshop will address new scientific findings obtained from the current and past missions (GOSAT, AIRS, SCIAMACHY, TES, and IASI) as well as the concepts of the next-generation remote-sensing missions that are in preparation (OCO-2, OCO-3, MERLIN, TanSat, GOSAT-2, CarbonSat, MicroCarb, A-SCOPE, ASCENDS, etc.). Research topics covered in the workshop include instrument calibration, data retrieval algorithm development, data validation, satellite data assimilation, surface flux estimation, satellite data application, and ground-based/airborne GHG measurement.

The workshop is organized around a series of plenary oral presentations and other oral/poster sessions.

A complete agenda will be available on "Schedule" page.
