CMS

Carbon Monitoring System

NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) is designed to make significant contributions in characterizing, quantifying, understanding, and predicting the evolution of global carbon sources and sinks by improving the monitoring of carbon stocks and fluxes. The CMS project uses NASA satellite observations and modeling/analysis capabilities to establish the accuracy, quantitative uncertainties, and utility of products for supporting national and international policy, regulatory, and management activities. CMS data products inform near-term decision-making, market applications, and program development.
