Abstract

CarbonSat is a candidate satellite for the European Space Agency's Earth Explorer 8 mission. CarbonSat aims to quantify the sources and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) by measuring their distribution in the atmosphere. This is the report for mission selection prepared on the CarbonSat mission.
