Establishing a UK OCO/GOSAT expert group Paul Palmer, Hartmut Bösch, Paul Monks, Peter Bernath et al White paper Expert Group: Why? What? Who? OCO Project status

OCO/GOSAT white paper Main purposes: 1)Brief UK community on status of OCO and GOSAT and associated activities 2)Match gaps in current OCO/GOSAT science plan with strengths of UK science community 3)Put forward research recommendations to fill gaps 4)Outline a coherent research programme in support of OCO and GOSAT Text based on Lake District meeting in October 2007 Currently distributed for private consultation Plan: Publicly available before NCEO starts

White paper science recommendations 1)Build on UK FTS strengths to establish FTS measurements at one or more sites within the UK and possibly at the NERC-funded Cape Verde atmospheric observatory 2)Integrate OCO and GOSAT cal/val in NCAS activities and identify EU- wide opportunities (EUFAR) 3)Develop an atmospheric transport simulation capability to support OCO and GOSAT. 4)Establish (or help develop) a NRT nested-grid simulation of CO 2 mole fraction and column over Europe that complements the US CarbonTracker [consortium bid?] 5)Establish a programme to improve CO 2 source attribution using co- emitted trace gases and complementary EO products (NCEO C and Atmospheric Composition Themes).

6)Establish a clear link between atmospheric transport modelling and the surface and ocean flux modelling activities in NCEO and elsewhere. 7)Establish a DA working group to consider (a) model error; (b) error covariance for successive measurements and different species; (c) compare DA techniques. 8)Identify funding stream for ongoing OCO and GOSAT DA work. 9)Develop UK expert group: access data, detailed knowledge of data properties (error characteristics) White paper science recommendations
