Overview of the Earth System Observatory—Atmosphere Observing System (AOS)

AOS will be the next generation of atmospheric observations for the world. With the loss of EOS this decade, we’d be flying blind to many of the processes that are impacting climate change. AOS science objectives and measurements directly align with DS objectives. AOS complexity directly follows from the complexity of DS objectives. AOS takes advantage of key international partnerships. Urgent need to move forward towards delivering these critical capabilities this decade and early next decade.
