| Zusammenfassung |
| Carbon dioxide is the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas. Its global increasing
concentration in the Earth’s atmosphere is the main driver for global warming. However, in
spite of its importance, there are still large uncertainties on the global carbon cycle. Satellite
measurements are currently approaching the quality needed to further reduce existing
surface net flux uncertainties. Simultaneous measurements of the isotopologues
fractions of CO2 cloud give additional information on the gross fluxes and additional
insight in the processes of the carbon cycle. We will discuss the potential of space
based and ground based FTS measurements in the short wave infrared region for
remote sensing of column average fractions of the isotopologues 16O13C16O and
16O12C18O. |
