Abstract
Geostationary mapping of carbon monoxide (CO) with multi-layer vertical resolution on 7 × 7 km footprints over South and North America from 45°S to 50°N and with 1 hour repeat time is a goal of the NRC Decadal Research Survey GEO-CAPE mission [1]. With support from the NASA ESTO Instrument Incubator Program (IIP) we have demonstrated Tropospheric Infrared Mapping Spectrometers operating at 2330 and 4680 nm that can address this goal. Here we show atmospheric data acquired simultaneously in these regions and the multi-layer retrieval of CO from these data. We show a space application that would satisfy the GEO-CAPE requirements.
