2
00:00:00.350 --> 00:00:02.720
Of all the CO2 that humans are emitting into the atmosphere,

3
00:00:02.740 --> 00:00:06.990
about half is being absorbed by the land and the oceans.

4
00:00:07.010 --> 00:00:10.620
To better understand the processes that control carbon emission and carbon uptake,

5
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.080
NASA is working to develop realistic models that describe

6
00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:16.980
how carbon moves between the atmosphere, land and oceans.

7
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.680
We combine a wealth of satellite data

8
00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:21.020
with a description of physical processes

9
00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:22.900
that control the carbon cycle.

10
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.330
A whole lot of math and computer power in order to better understand

11
00:00:26.350 --> 00:00:30.530
how carbon is changing both today and in the future.
