OCO-3 diurnal sampling provides unique measurements of hour-to-hourvariations in plant health, and helps communities better manage their resources and increase resilience to hazards.
OCO-3 Snapshot Area Mapping (SAM) observations are unique because they offer flexible, responsive targeting for SIF that are low latency, actionable information for natural resource management and food security. Targeted, high-resolution measurements of carbon dioxide over multiple cities and point sources are an indicator of economic activity and infrastructure investments
Co-location of OCO-3 with other NASA instruments on the ISS (ECOSTRESS, GEDI and EMIT) creates synergies for optimizing agricultural production and carbon storage, and for quantifying impacts of urban activities and power plants across multiple scales.
