GHG measurement
in the arctic
(airplane)
JPL (USA)
The Arctic is warming much faster than the global average

Estimated that 1000–2000 PgC are currently stored in
permafrost and frozen soils

High latitude climate change amplification
3–6x of the ~350 PgC released from fossil fuel
combustion since 1850
Increasing temperatures threaten to mobilize permafrost C
into dynamic cycling, creating a potentially massive
perturbation to the climate system

How much C is vulnerable to release?

How fast might it be released?

What fraction would be released as CO2? As CH4?

Are there signatures that an irreversible climate
system “tipping point” is approaching?

1989
Aura: TES
On-board calibration system

The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) is a high
resolution FTIR used to measure and profile many gases
important for tropospheric physics and chemistry

ABB built the On-Board Calibration Subsystem (OBCS)
that allows the radiometric and spatial calibration of the
TES instrument during flight

© ABB Group
July 27, 2012 | Slide 29
On the Earth Observing System (EOS) Aura polar
orbiting platform launched on July 15, 2004
The OBCS comprised a blackbody source providing a
known infrared signal for the radiometric calibration of
the spectrometer, plus a spatial calibration source
used for the monitoring of the relative positions of the
four TES focal planes, as well as a set of control
electronics

MOPITT, Measurement of Pollution In The Troposphere,
is an Canadian Space Agency (CSA) instrument flying on
NASA’s EOS Terra spacecraft, measuring tropospheric
CO on a global scale

ABB-Bomem designed and built the in-flight calibration
sources for the MOPITT instrument

MOPITT was launched on December 18, 1999, and has
been operational ever since

ABB also developed the ground calibration source
SciSat-1: ACE-FTS
Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment

ABB was the prime contractor of ACE, the main instrument of
the Canadian Space Agency’s satellite SciSat-1

ACE is a high spectral resolution FTIR (0.02 cm–1) operating in
solar occultation providing high sensitivity and broad spectral
coverage with a measurement time of 2 s per spectrum

It measures concentration profiles of more than 40 gases in
the atmosphere, including Ozone and CFC’s

ACE/SciSat-1 was successfully launched on August 12, 2003
and continues to deliver exceptional results

PCW: Polar Communications and Weather mission
Canadian Mission

Canada is considering to place a pair of satellites in highly
elliptical orbit, allowing continuous quasi-geostationary
observations over the high latitudes (> 70º) of northern
hemisphere, to provide communication services and to
collect weather imagery over the Artic regions

ABB, within the industrial team leaded by MDA, developed
a concept for the meteorological multi-spectral imager

ABB awarded STDP for study of new generation
operational GEO imagers ($5.7 million contract)

21 channel imager with spatial resolution from
0.5 km to 2 km with 15 minutes refresh rate

Project Phase A completed in 2011

Anticipated to begin operations in 2017
ABB also awarded Phase A study for PHEOS (Polar Highly
Elliptical Orbit Science), a science payload instrument
PHEOS Mission Objectives

The project aims to enhance the PCW meteorological
mission

The data provided by the PHEOS payload are important for
operational numerical weather prediction
The PHEOS instrument addresses directly the two
following elements of the PCW URD:

PDP – Mindset
Fail early and often but not to avoid mistakes
Edison noted that the real measure of success is the number of
experiments that can be crowded into 24 hours. Failures should not
be confused with mistakes. Failure can be a desirable outcome of an
experiment. This is what enables us to learn and go forward to reach
success!
Best Practice: “Proof of Concept” before FCR - before starting
the
design. Systematically removing risk as early as possible is embedded and
enforced into our PDP process and in the Mindset of our Engineering staff.
