8. 8 Number and distribution of ground-based CO2 monitoring stations is not enough. Satellite data from global and frequent observation is needed. ~91 92~ Observing Station Provided by NIES GOSAT © JAXA Objectives To observe the distribution of the concentration of CO2 and to confirm both the amounts and the area of CO2 sources and sinks. To observe the distribution of the concentration of other greenhouse gases e.g. CH4 in order to understand global warming more precisely. Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite
