Accurate forecasting of future climate requires an improved understanding of the global carbon cycle and its interaction with the Earth System OCO and GOSAT will make the first space-based measurements of CO2 with the accuracy needed to quantify sources and sinks of this important greenhouse gas. Continuing Cooperation between the OCO and GOSAT teams will improve the value of both missions to the science community.
