The following measures of success are proposed: - Joint Expert Team with CEOS on GHG activities.
- Prioritised list of space-based GHG observations requiring continuity.
- Prioritised list of space-based observations of co-emitted species requiring continuity.
- Prioritised list of new space-based GHG observations filling observations gap.
- Comprehensive, documented, and consistent set of data requirements for supporting Monitoring and Verification System model inversions over land, ocean, and ice.
Action O11: Liaise and prioritise with CEOS-CGMS for indirect GHG observations from space (required to infer GHG fluxes). The following measures of success are proposed: - Joint expert team with GCOS/Terrestrial Observation Panel for Climate (TOPC) and CEOS Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU).
- Prioritised list of space-based observations requiring continuity relevant for AFOLU –related carbon stocks, changes, and fluxes.
- Prioritised list of new space-based observations filling gaps relevant for AFOLU –related carbon stocks, changes, and fluxes.
- List of required space-based observations of Essential climate variables (ECVs) supporting the science basis in GHG Monitoring.
- Comprehensive, documented, and consistent set of data requirements for supportingMonitoring and Verification System model inversions.
Action O12: Liaise and prioritise with CEOS-CGMS for required space-based observations to monitor changes in the carbon cycle in a (future) changing climate. The following measures of success are proposed: - Prioritised list of (future) space-based observations requiring continuity.
- Prioritised list of (future) new space-based observations filling gaps.
- Report describing expected changes in the carbon cycle and how to observe them from space.
