NASA’s Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of POllution (TEMPO) mission is planned to launch in early 2023 to provide geostationary observations of air quality over North America.

 

The airborne air quality TEMPO-proxy payload will be installed on Johnson Space Centers Gulfstream V which has two remote sensing portals providing a nadir point of view over areas mapped. Over the course of summer 2023, this payload will operate up to 150 flight hours collecting data with the GeoCAPE Airborne Simulator (GCAS) and combined High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL)-2 + Ozone Differential Absorption lidar (DIAL).

 

To compliment the air quality measurements from the G-V, a greenhouse gas focused payload will be flown on the Langley Research Center G-III to measure city-scale emissions 2x day over targeted cities. The combined active/passive remote sensing payload includes the High Altitude Lidar Observatory (HALO) and Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer - Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG). HALO will provide city-scale view of column methane using the DIAL technique and profiles of aerosol cloud optical properties employing the HSRL technique.
