We know that on average for the global carbon system
about half of what humans emit into the atmosphere is removed each year
by the land and the ocean.
There's details we still don't know, like
where that is happening? Different parts of the ocean taking up the carbon dioxide
or is the land responding differently?
But with the measurements collected from OCO-2,
which are about 100,000 good measurements
of carbon dioxide around the whole globe every day
we can start to answer these questions about the wheres and the whens of the carbon dioxide removal.
