As an example, students may have the opportunity to contribute to the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, OCO-2, which is being built to measure carbon dioxide globally. Previous student interns at JPL have worked on matching satellite data with ground based data, and calculated some of the key statistics. Other data analyses could include looking at time trends of the key variables and variables that indicate the data quality, or develop statistics and maps of potential measurements. Student interns will have the opportunity to attend meetings to learn more about the overarching goals and other research going on at JPL.
