Carbon Dioxide Sources and Sinks
Overview
NASA models the flow of carbon dioxide; its emission, its transport around the globe, and its absorption by the ocean and biosphere.

Go to this pageCarbon dioxide (CO2) is the most prevalent greenhouse gas driving global climate change. However, its increase in the atmosphere would be even more rapid without land and ocean carbon sinks, which collectively absorb about half of human emissions every year. Advanced computer modeling techniques in NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office allow us to disentangle the influences of sources and sinks and to better understand where carbon is coming from and going to. ||
