Cover Story: The Earth Climate Observatory (ECO) is a new space mission concept for the measurement of the Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI). The Incoming Solar Radiation (ISR)—of the order of 340 W/m2—and the Total Outgoing terrestrial Radiation (TOR)—of the order of 339 W/m2—are measured by identically designed, intercalibrated wide-field-of-view radiometers, such that a significant measurement of the EEI—of the order of 1 W/m2—can be made. Auxiliary visible and thermal multispectral cameras will be used to increase the spatial resolution of the radiometer observations, and to separate the TOR spectrally in the Reflected Solar Radiation (RSR) and the Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR).
