The shelter at front left here, with the dome on top, is the Orbiting Carbon Observatory mobile laboratory, an Earth-bound counterpart to the OCO satellite. It's located at the ARM Climate Research Facility site in Darwin, Australia, where it will be until November 2010. Carbon dioxide measurements taken by the mobile lab's Fourier transform spectrometer will be some of the data evaluated against findings from the orbiting observatory. There's no word yet on what will happen to this facility.
