List of Figures 1.1. (a) 40-year history of atmospheric CO2 buildup. (b) Observed variations in annual atmospheric CO2 accumulation ((CO2) compared with fossil fuel emissions [CDIAC, 2001; Schnell et al., 2001]. Significant changes in carbon sequestration occur on annual time scales. 4 1.2. Error in retrieved global carbon flux (GtC/yr) vs. space-based XCO2 measurement precision [Rayner and O’Brien, 2001]. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory’s (OCO) 1 ppm precision (circle) is needed to outperform the GV-CO2 network (dashed–line). 6 1.3. Global maps of carbon flux errors for 26 continent/ocean-b
