Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are the two most important anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs). Satellite observations combined with modelling can add important missing global information on regional CO2 and CH4 sources and sinks required for better climate prediction. GHG-CCI aims at delivering the high quality satellite retrievals needed for this application.

Future GHG satellite missions
GHG-CCI team members have proposed the new satellite mission CarbonSat for Earth Explorer 8. On 24 Nov 2010, CarbonSat has been selected together with FLEX.
