This document summarizes the outcomes of the OCO-2 Science Team Meeting held on February 16-17, 2012, in Pasadena. It covers key measurements of CO2 gathered at Caltech, Palos Verdes, and Mt. Wilson, alongside findings from the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON). Notable collaborators include experts from JPL and Caltech. The report includes information on noise analysis, spectroscopic parameters, transmittance, and the implications of vertical gradients in current carbon uptake models. Influential references are cited to provide context on CO2 profiling methods.

Motivation for profile retrieving of CO2 • Over-prediction of the annual-mean midday vertical gradients in most current model lead to miss-interpretation of carbon uptake in northern lands and tropical forests [Stephen et al., 2007, Sarrat et al., 2007] • Boundary layer CO2v.s. XCO2 [Keppel-Alekset al., 2011]
