NASA, the United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and NIER, Korea’s National Institute of Environmental Research, are jointly hosting a summer science meeting to enable communication and collaboration between participants in both the TEMPO and GEMS space-based environmental monitoring missions. The meeting is scheduled for August 26-30, 2024, at the Courtyard King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel.

The Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring Pollution (TEMPO) mission aims to observe air quality over North America with more detail than ever before, by creating a revolutionary new dataset of atmospheric composition measurements from space. TEMPO, launched in April 2023, is the first space-based instrument to monitor major air pollutants across the North American continent every daylight hour at high spatial resolution. TEMPO is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and NASA.

The Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS), launched in February 2020, provides observations of atmospheric composition over Asia at a high temporal resolution of an hourly revisit time in daylight and a high spatial resolution of 7 x 8 km² at the center of the field of regards, ranging from Japan to India in the east-west direction and from Mongolia to Indonesia in the north-south direction. This unprecedented capability enables the observation of short-lived tropospheric trace gases (such as O3, NO2, SO2, HCHO, and CHOCHO) and aerosols, contributing to more accurate air quality forecasting and the establishment and implementation of science-based policy for air quality.

TEMPO and GEMS are part of the Geostationary Air Quality (GEO-AQ) constellation, which will soon be joined by the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-4 that covers Europe. The GEO-AQ constellation will help us better understand the causes, transportation, and effects of air pollution over the Northern hemisphere in greater detail.

Fly to Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole (KOA). The King Kamehameha Hotel is about an 8-mile/20-minute drive from the airport. Information about taxi and shuttle service is available on the Ground Transportation page under Getting To & From on the airport website.

Please note that the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture requires passengers arriving with plants, animals, and any agricultural materials to declare them on the Plants and Animals Declaration Form distributed in-flight to Hawaii. Passengers checking in for a flight to a destination in the Continental United States (Mainland) will have their checked baggage screened for agricultural products. Restrictions on the movement of fruits, plants, live snails, and other items from Hawaii to the Mainland are enforced to prevent the spread of fruit flies and other hazardous plant insects and diseases. More information is available on the airport website under Agriculture Inspection.

Group welcome event, Monday evening, August 26.  Save the date for a luau (traditional Hawaiian feast) on the grounds of the King Kamehameha Hotel. The reception and dinner is primarily for registered attendees, however we can accommodate a limited number of adult guests. If you would like to bring a guest please complete the form below asap and note how you will pay for your guest. Guest registration will close Monday, August 19, or when space is no longer available.  During the event, drinks will be available for purchase (selected non alcoholic drinks are provided as part of the dinner). We will ask meeting attendees to confirm attendance via email communication.

Informal touring, Wednesday afternoon, August 28. Our agenda will be open Wednesday afternoon allowing you time to explore the island.
