NASA's New DSCOVR Mission


Dscovr epic moontransit.gif


GreenPolicy360's in on the Mission


In 2015, GreenPolicy360's PlanetCitizen website assisted the NASA/NOAA team in delivering DSCOVR/EPIC data and imagery

From one million miles away... NASA Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captures a unique view of the moon as it moves in front of the sunlit side of Earth in July 2015. This “dark side” of the moon is never visible from Earth...


In addition to the development of the NASA DSCOVR/EPIC website, a selection of #‎Earth360‬ images will be made available online daily beginning in August and unprecedented accompanying data/imagery made for ‪#‎EarthScience‬ and climate/atmospheric monitoring.

NASA Goddard communications to us, including this March 11th correspondence with GreenPolicy discussed calibrated data products to come from DSCOVR...

The individual 10 different wavelength EPIC data will be served from the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at Langley.


Welcome to daily Views of Our Home Planet


The DSCOVR satellite with its EPIC cam, PlasMag & NISTAR instrument package... is on a million mile journey and in approx four months, DSCOVR will "light up", be tested, and begin delivering data to Earth. In its historic mission, DSCOVR and its EPIC imaging system will begin sending near real-time images of the whole Earth... it has been many years since whole Earth images have been readily available...

Amazing time-lapse videos from astro-photographs of Earth

Watch Earth roll by through the perspective of ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst in this six-minute timelapse video from space.


Combining 12 500 images taken by Alexander during his six-month Blue Dot mission on the International Space Station this Ultra High Definition video shows the best our beautiful planet has to offer.

Auroras, sunrises, clouds, stars, oceans, the Milky Way, the International Space Station, lightning, cities at night, spacecraft -- and the thin band of atmosphere that protects us from space.

Astronauts on the way home

Circling #Earth360 before heading home [1] [2]


Three of our favorite astronauts return to Earth from the International Space Station.

We've been receiving many absolutely beautiful photos from them with their expressions of awe.

What they see and experience opens eyes and truly communicates here at 'home.'

Our "whole Earth" and a "narrow", "thin layer of atmosphere."

http://www.pinterest.com/stratdem/environmental-security/

How amazing it is to have 'tweets' and 'blogging' from an int'l 'bird' flying high over our blue planet.

Global Warming / NASA Satellite Sends Back Most Detailed CO2 View Ever


1st light! OCO-2 announces we have data!


Earth planet changing.jpg


August 2014

The newly launched Orbiting Carbon Observatory is now at the front of the international “Afternoon Constellation,” the “A-Train” of Earth-observing satellites in orbit. Their synchronized collection of data is a first and advances #earthmonitoring with a qualitative, quantum leap. Go we go!! Orbiting Carbon Observatory And while the A Train rolls on in the sky, maybe you'd like to listen to old but always good Duke Ellington's A Train ;-)

The image [spectra image below] shows some of the first data taken by OCO-2 as it flew over Papua-New Guinea forests on August 6, 2014. Each plot shows three different spectra, or wavelength, observed by the satellite’s spectrometers: 760 nanometers (atmospheric oxygen), 1610 nanometers (carbon dioxide), and 2060 nanometers (carbon dioxide).

As OCO-2 flies over Earth’s sunlit hemisphere, each spectrometer collects a frame three times per second (a total of about 9,000 frames from each orbit). Each frame is divided into eight spectra that record the amount of molecular oxygen or carbon dioxide over adjacent ground footprints, each of which is about 2.25 kilometers (1.39 miles) long and a few hundred meters wide. When displayed as an image, the spectra appear like bar codes. The dark lines indicate absorption by molecular oxygen or carbon dioxide.

“The initial data from OCO-2 appear exactly as expected; the spectra lines are well resolved, sharp, and deep,” says OCO-2 chief architect Randy Pollock of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

“We still have a lot of work to do to go from having a working instrument to having a well-calibrated and scientifically useful instrument, but this was an amazingly important milestone.”


OCO-2 firstspectra 2014218.png


To put the spectra in context, the natural-color image here shows the cloudy, forested scene below OCO-2 just minutes after it collected its data.

The color image was acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite in the A Train orbit.

About EarthPOV

EarthPOV's point of view re: AGW/Anthropogenic Global Warming

While the debate continues, e.g., addressing concerns of 'skeptics' on the science of climate change, the science continues to be gathered by NASA, NOAA, ESA, and the myriad educational/research organizations, New Space satellites, mapping and monitoring issues, reporting data, modeling, assembling statistics, recording temperature trends globally and locally, doing the work of #EarthScience. The politics and economics of climate science will follow good science and an EarthPOV takes a simple environmental science position:

Cleaner air and water and food is a good thing. Reducing pollution is a necessary thing. Health of our environment is a vital thing.

Science is needed to 'measure and manage' #PlanetEarth in sustainable, productive and life enhancing ways.
