2015

The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) team refined the mission orbit... closer to CloudSat and CALIPSO in the Afternoon Train of Earth-observing satellites. This means researchers will be able to pair up the one million daily measurements of carbon dioxide made by OCO-2 with cloud and aerosol measurements made by the other satellites.

Instrument calibration and data reprocessing is being updated resulting in improved visualizations of how carbon is moving around our planet.

Historic Orbiting Carbon Observatory Satellite Sends Back Most Detailed CO2 View Ever / Dec 18, 2014

The 'Initial Level 1 round' of data was made available to the public on Dec 30, 2014.

A full Level 2 set of CO2 data is scheduled to be available in March for scientists and the public "planet citizens" to download and explore.
