Ocean storage of carbon dioxide carbon sink. Mixing layers involve transporting the denser and colder deep ocean water to the surface mixed layer. As the temperature of water in the ocean decreases with depth, more carbon dioxide and other compounds are able to dissolve in the deeper layers. This can be induced by reversing the oceanic carbon cycle through the use of large vertical pipes serving as ocean pumps, or a mixer array. When the nutrient rich deep ocean water is moved to the surface, algae bloom occurs, resulting in a decrease in carbon dioxide due to carbon intake from Phytoplankton and other photosynthetic eukaryotic
Space-based measurements of carbon dioxide and errors in fitting signals to obtain X, space-based observations may also be compared with ground-based observations such as those from the TCCON. There have been other conceptual missions which have undergone initial evaluations but have not been chosen to become a part of space-based observing systems. These include: Space-based measurements of carbon dioxide Space-based measurements of carbon dioxide () are used to help answer questions about Earth's carbon cycle. There are a variety of active and planned instruments for measuring carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere from space. The first satellite mission designed to measure was the Interferometric Monitor for
