2 Talk Overview What is OCO-2?? Science questions that motivate OCO-2 and OCO-3 Overview of OCO-2 measurement approach Optimal Estimation Retrieval Approach Dealing with Real Data pre-screening Post retrieval data selection Science Use of Initial Data Flux inversions Summary Slide 2 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

3 OCO-2 OCO-2 stands for Orbiting Carbon Observatory NASA satellite project one instrument on one spacecraft Designed to measure the atmospheric column of carbon dioxide (CO2), globally This is the second one we are building (hence -2), since there was a launch failure of the first one Slide 3 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

4 Overview of the Carbon Cycle Slide 4 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

5 With a few more details Natural and anthropogenic Slide 5 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

6 The Mystery of the Missing CO 2 Humans have added >200 Gt C to the atmosphere since 1958 Less than half of this CO 2 is staying in the atmosphere Where are the sinks that are absorbing over half of the CO 2? Land or ocean? Eurasia/North America? Why does the CO 2 buildup vary from year to year with nearly uniform emission rates? How will these CO 2 sinks respond to climate change? Data from LeQuere et al., 2009? Slide 6 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

7 A Closer Look at the Missing CO 2 Long-term temporal changes of carbon cycle are important and can not be addressed by OCO-2 alone need measurements on multi-year timescales of key drivers of atmospheric variability (eg., ENSO) OCO-3 focus areas Continue X CO2 measurements started by OCO-2 Reduce uncertainty of carbon flux of terrestrial biosphere and oceans Sample urban centers with largest emissions of fossil fuel CO 2 (opportunistic) China FF CO2 (2020)! Fossil Fuel 9.1±0.5 Land use 0.9±0.7! Land sink 2.6±1.0! Atmo 5.0±0.2! Ocean 2.4±0.5! Global Carbon Project, 2011 Slide 7 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

8 OCO-2: The Future Lead of the A-Train Constellation The Orbiting Carbon Observatory - 2 (OCO-2) Watching The Earth Breathe Mapping CO2 From Space OCO-2 will lead the A-Train in the slot just ahead of GCOM-W1 NASA s Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) is designed to return space-based measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) with the sensitivity, accuracy and sampling density needed to quantify regional scale carbon sources and sinks and characterize their variability.

14 The equations of the retrieval algorithm The spectrum, or measurement vector y, is expressed symbolically as y = F(x) +! = Kx +! where x is the state vector, F is the forward model, and! is the vector of spectral errors due to the measurement and forward model (model of the radiative transfer). Generally, the expected value of the state vector x e This can be recast as x e = (K T S e -1 K + S a -1 ) -1 (K T S e -1 y + S a -1 x a ) Or x e = x a + (K T S e -1 K + S a -1 ) -1 K T S e -1 (y - Kx a ) x e = x a + S a K T (KS a K T + S e ) -1 (y - Kx a ) x a is the a priori state, S a is the covariance of a a priori, S e is the measurement error covariance, K is the weighting function matrix or Jacobian, (K ij = df i (x)/dx ij ) Slide 14 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

15 Why am I showing you all this?? We use a Bayesian approach to the inverse problem Measurement error assumed to be Gaussian -2 ln P(y x) = (y Kx) T S e -1 (y Kx) + c 1 The prior knowledge of x is described as a Gaussian pdf -2 ln P(x) = (x x a ) T S a -1 (x x a ) + c 2 Therefore -2 ln P(x y) = = (y Kx) T S e -1 (y Kx) + (x x a )T S a -1 (x x a ) + c 3 This can be recast, to find that And K T S e -1 y + S a -1 x a = (K T S e- 1K + S a -1 )x e x e = x a + S a K T (KS a K T + S e ) -1 (y - Kx a ) Slide 15 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

16 The practical approach to optimal estimation The solution of the OCO-2 inverse method is the state vector with maximum a posteriori probability, given the measurement y. To find the state vector that produces the maximum a-posteriori probability, we minimize the following standard cost function! 2 :! 2 = (y F(x)) T S e -1 (y F(x)) + (x a - x) T S a -1 (x a x) where F(x) is the forward model, K is the weighting function matrix, or Jacobian, x a is the a priori state vector, S a is the a priori covariance matrix, S e is the measurement covariance matrix. We do this with a Levenberg Marquardt method of iterations, where " i determines the step size x i+1 = x i + (KK T + " i I) -1 K T [y-f(x i )] Slide 16 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

18 Preprocessing 1. Preprocessors (find the clouds) 2. Sounding selection (if we can t afford to process it all, find the best data to use ) Slide 18 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

19 Pre-Processing Filters The ACOS GOSAT Pre-Processing Filters screen out the following L1B data: Soundings acquired at solar zenith angles > 85 Soundings contaminated by optically-thick clouds A Spectroscopic cloud screening algorithm based on the O 2 A-band (ABO2) is currently being used for GOSAT retrievals (Taylor et al. 2011) Fits a clear sky atmosphere to every sounding in the O 2 A band High values of! 2 and large differences between the retrieved surface pressure and the ECMWF prior indicate the presence of clouds Example A-Band fit Poor fit (! 2 = 9.6) indicates presence of cloud Small residuals and good agreement between retrieved and ECMWF surface pressure indicates cloud free sounding Slide 19 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

20 The ACOS Cloud Filter The ABO2 cloud screen works well on optically thick and high and cirrus clouds, but Simulations and comparisons with MODIS cloud products indicate that it misses 20-30% of low clouds A modified cloud filter is currently being tested The new screen combines the A-band cloud screen with other screens excluding soundings where: 0.99 < XCO2(1.61 #m)/xco2(2.06 #m) > 1.01 or 0.95 < XH2O(1.61 #m)/xh2o (2.06 #m) > 1.05 Comparisons with simulations indicate that this methods eliminates almost all low clouds Many soundings with large cloud optical depths that are missed by the A-band filter are caught by the X CO2 and X H2O ratio filters. X H O ratio (weak/strong) CO 2 ratio (weak/strong) H2O Ratio 2 (WCO2/SCO2) X CO2 Ratio (WCO2/SCO2) X CO2 Ratio ±1% log Histogram log(total OD) X H2O Ratio ±5% Ln (Optical Depth) log Histogram log(total OD) Ln (Optical Depth) Slide 20 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

21 Issue: OCO-2 will gather up to 96 times as much data as GOSAT, but, like GOSAT, up to 80% of the soundings are compromised by clouds, ice, other issues. Challenge: How do we (rapidly) select the best ~6% to process through Level 2? Solution: Design a Sounding Selector to find best soundings using L1B data alone. Used Machine Learning to develop a method that autonomously constructs a sounding selector for GOSAT data User specifies X% of data to retain, selector returns which soundings to process Guarantees uniform spatial and temporal coverage, minimal data distortion, and runs instantly Use of Machine Learning for Sounding Selection Depends on two, well-understood, ACOS OCO-2-derived quantities with easily interpreted rules Lukas Mandrake Slide 21 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

22 Overall Flow of Sounding Selection Slide 22 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

23 Machine Learning as a Tool for Debugging/ Research Support GOSAT soundings in the southern hemisphere, where X CO2 has little variability, to explore top factors responsible for X CO2 retrievals that are Anomalously high or low Have high scatter Used Genetic Algorithms (GA) methods to explore high dimensional parameter spaces Not necessarily a global minimum GA s are also quite simple to create and use, and they lend themselves trivially to highly parallel processing such as multicore and clustered computer systems Apply GA s to reduce RMS of XCO 2 in the area shown on map Lukas Mandrake Slide 23 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

24 Details of RFE approach Two-dimensional feature example. Yellow lines represent the max and min thresholds for each of the two subfilters, with only data satisfying the union (green) accepted by the filter and all other data (red) rejected. The Pareto-optimal trade-off curves for dominant Land fixed filters in the southern hemisphere using all available features. Slide 24 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

25 Key Features Identified for Land and Sea Can we adopt just one set of features?? Slide 25 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

26 Selection with Two Parameters for All Data Slide 26 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

27 Warn Level Warn levels are defined by filter thresholds, with each warn level reducing data transparency (throughput) by 5% Slide 27 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

28 Warn Level To ensure global coverage, we have to select data from different warn levels for different regions. Hot colors are places where there is a lot of high quality data Slide 28 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012

48 Conclusions Remote Sensing measurements of XCO 2 can help us improve our understanding of the flow of carbon in the earth system The measurements must be precise to answer this question! Need an excellent instrument, Accurate and detailed models of how light moves through the atmosphere, Sophisticated retrieval techniques and error characterization, Practical ways to select data for processing and use in science analysis, And close partnership with earth system modelers to answer the science questions. Statistics have a critical role in all aspects of our work Slide 48 UCLA CAS Nov., 2012
