    • OCO-2 Level 2 geolocated XCO2 retrieval results and algorithm diagnostic information V11.2 (OCO2_L2_Diagnostic) at GES DISC

    Metadata Updated: April 11, 2025

    Version 11.2 is the current version of the data set. Older versions will no longer be available and are superseded by Version 11.2.

    The Orbiting Carbon Observatory is the first NASA mission designed to collect space-based measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide with the precision, resolution, and coverage needed to characterize the processes controlling its buildup in the atmosphere. The OCO-2 project uses the LEOStar-2 spacecraft that carries a single instrument. It incorporates three high-resolution spectrometers that make coincident measurements of reflected sunlight in the near-infrared CO2 near 1.61 and 2.06 micrometers and in molecular oxygen (O2) A-Band at 0.76 micrometers. This collection encompass various data fields used for diagnostic and pre-processing, including aerosol optical depth, albedo, absorption coefficients, fluorescence, XCO2 uncertainties, averaging kernel, surface type, etc.
