3 2009 MayASSFTS14, Firenze, Italia3 GEO-CAPE Science Goals Conclusions from Key Assessment Reports “Air quality measurements are urgently needed to understand the complex consequences of increasing anthropogenic pollutant emissions both regionally and globally. The current observation system for air quality is inadequate.” - NRC Earth Science Decadal Survey (2007) “The ability to observe the boundary layer from space is a major priority for air quality applications”. - Report from the Community Workshop on Air Quality Monitoring from Space (Boulder, CO, 2006) GEO-CAPE Mission Requirements Measure air pollutants such as ozone and aerosols Improve air quality forecasts “through assimilation of chemical data, monitoring pollutant emissions and accidental releases, and understanding pollution transport on regional to intercontinental scales.” Cover North & South America from -45 o to +50 o latitude with 7 km resolution “at about hourly intervals” (air quality) Cover coastal oceans with a steerable imaging spectrometer with 250-m spatial resolution and 300 km field of view (ocean biogeochemistry) Longitude range is therefore 30 o W to 140 o W with the spacecraft positioned in geostationary orbit near 85  W longitude.

4 2009 MayASSFTS14, Firenze, Italia4 The PanFTS Approach The Panchromatic Fourier Transform Spectrometer (PanFTS) is a NASA Instrument Incubator Program (IIP) funded development to build and demonstrate a single instrument capable of meeting or exceeding all GEO- CAPE/GACM requirements. The PanFTS design combines measurement capabilities for IR (e.g. TES) and UV-Vis (e.g., OMI) in a single package (including full spatial coverage), plus the ability to measure ocean color.

6 2009 MayASSFTS14, Firenze, Italia6 The IR is sensitive to the boundary layer when concentrations and air-surface contrasts are high Vertical and horizontal snap- shots of TES CO (upper left), TES O 3 (lower left), OMI aerosol optical depth (upper right) and OMI NO 2 (lower right) during a So. Calif. wild- fire episode. Enhancements in boundary layer O 3 and CO are clearly indicated. Combined UV-Vis-IR retrievals will reveal boundary layer features such as these.

11 2009 MayASSFTS14, Firenze, Italia11 From a geostationary orbit near 85 o W longitude, observations are accomplished by sequentially imaging ~50 patches (distinguished by different colors in the graphic) for about one minute each with an approximately 900 km X 900 km instantaneous field-of-view using a 128 X 128 pixel array which provides a pixel resolution of approximately 7 km. A 60 µm pixel size and a 5 cm beam diameter provide the étendue required to achieve S/N ~ 100 at a spectral resolution of 0.05 cm -1. 900 km x 900 km ground swath patch 128x128 FPA Spectra in pixel PanFTS Observing Scenario

Wilson (1742 m)
