The Orbiting Carbon Observatory: Sampling Approach and Anticipated Data Products  David Crisp, OCO PI JPL/Caltech May 2006 What Processes Control Atmospheric CO2? Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the: Main atmospheric component of the global carbon cycle Main man-made greenhouse gas Outstanding Questions Where are the sinks that are absorbing almost 50% of the CO2 that we emit? Land or ocean? Eurasia/North America? Why does CO2 buildup vary dramatically with nearly uniform emissions? How will CO2 sinks respond to climate change? The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) Approach: Collect spatiall
