Artist’s rendition of the areal coverage of GeoCARB (Geostationary Carbon Cycle Observatory) being mounted on a commercial geostationary communication satellite operated by SES S.A. GeoCARB will be centered at 85° West longitude over the Americas and will make observations between 50° North and South latitudes. GeoCARB will acquire properties of atmospheric constituents including carbon dioxide, methane, and carbon monoxide at multiple times during the daylight hours, to improve understanding about the global carbon cycle and vegetation health.
