CARVE(Pasadena)

GHG measurement in the arctic

(airplane)JPL (USA)

Airborne solution: CARVECarbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment

The Arctic is warming much faster than the global average

High latitude climate change amplification

Estimated that 1000–2000 PgC are currently stored in permafrost and frozen soils

3–6x of the ~350 PgC released from fossil fuel combustion since 1850

Increasing temperatures threaten to mobilize permafrost C into dynamic cycling, creating a potentially massive perturbation to the climate system

How much C is vulnerable to release?

How fast might it be released?

What fraction would be released as CO2? As CH4?

Are there signatures that an irreversible climate system “tipping point” is approaching?

1989, first instrument in space


Aura: TES

The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) is a high resolution FTIR used to measure and profile many gases important for tropospheric physics and chemistry

On the Earth Observing System (EOS) Aura polar orbiting platform launched on July 15, 2004

ABB built the On-Board Calibration Subsystem (OBCS) that allows the radiometric and spatial calibration of the TES instrument during flight

The OBCS comprised a blackbody source providing a known infrared signal for the radiometric calibration of the spectrometer, plus a spatial calibration sourceused for the monitoring of the relative positions of the four TES focal planes, as well as a set of control electronics

On-board calibration system


Terra: MOPITT

MOPITT, Measurement of Pollution In The Troposphere, is an Canadian Space Agency (CSA) instrument flying on NASA’s EOS Terra spacecraft, measuring troposphericCO on a global scale

Engineering Team PDP – Mindset

Best Practice: “Proof of Concept” before FCR - before starting the design. Systematically removing risk as early as possible is embedded and enforced into our PDP process and in the Mindset of our Engineering staff.

Fail early and often but not to avoid mistakes

Edison noted that the real measure of success is the number of experiments that can be crowded into 24 hours. Failures should not be confused with mistakes. Failure can be a desirable outcome of an experiment. This is what enables us to learn and go forward to reach

success!
