Ball Aerospace Is Developing NASA’s First Geostationary
Sensor To Measure Intra-Day Ozone In The US
Analysis of GEOTASO Data by Caroline Nowlan
Column NO2 in Houston, TX; Fall 2013
TEMPO – Instrumentation for hourly
measurements of pollutants over
the continental US
Ball Aerospace is Developing TEMPO
for a 2017 Delivery
The ESTO Funded, Airborne
GEOTASO Sensor Serves As An
Airborne Demonstrator for TEMPO

Strong Air Quality Focus in Current Programs
Ball’s GEOTASO instrument will fly in
coordination with the DISCOVER-AQ
and FRAPPE field campaigns
Liquid fuel leak
detection
technology is
being developed
for DOT/PHMSA
An air quality
measurement
system is being
developed for
NEON

HAWC-OAWL Integrates Wind And Aerosol Measurements
In One System
HSRL (High Spectral Resolution Lidar) for Aerosols, Winds, and Clouds (HAWC) using Optical Autocovariance Wind Lidar (OAWL)
A NASA ESTO Instrument Incubator Program (IIP)
OAWL: Wind measurements ─ OAWL wind profiles: demonstrated in ground and aircraft flight tests
“Direct detection” receiver: Mach Zehnder interferometer
Laser: 4W each of 355nm (UV) and 532nm
─ Proposed full space-flight system at 532 nm: ATHENA-OAWL
HAWC: Adding concurrent HSRL (aerosol) retrievals to OAWL winds ─ Cloud/aerosol backscatter (), extinction (), and depolarization () …
─ … at 355 and 532 nm wavelengths (color ratios)
─ New transport data products Chemical Weather
─ Potential Aerosol + Winds mission combinations
