Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2OCO-2
OCO-2 is actively engaged in supporting and working with NASA’s Applied Science program within Earth Action, an element of NASA’s Earth Science Division.
The spaceborne data from NASA provide a unique vantage point of looking at Earth as a system that is valuable to understanding how the Earth is working and responding to changes. Since one of the long term objectives for applications development is enabling the use of remote sensing data into decision making or decision support processes, the program is committed to capacity building, data product development and user support.
NASA’s Capacity Building Program within Applied Science provides individuals and institutions with workforce development, training activities, and collaborative projects to strengthen understanding of Earth observations and expand their use around the world. Through our unique program elements, we work with everyone at every level — from first-time users to long-time professional users of Earth observation data. The program is composed of unique ways to connect with unique users, and includes ARSET, DEVELOP and SERVIR.
OCO-2 helps potential users learn to use our data through online training modules and live webinars conducted through the ARSET Program. By collaborating with ARSET, we have been able to expand the number of potential users and extend the reach around the world.
We have offered Beginner and Intermediate training modules for both the XCO2 and the SIF data products. For the most up to date information, please see our Online Training page on this site visit Applied Sciences: Applied Remote Sensing Training Program.
