1 Air Sampling from Ships of Opportunity by NOAA ESRL
Status Report for JCOMM/SOT-IV 16-21 April 2007 Geneva, Switzerland Ed Dlugokencky National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Earth System Research Laboratory Boulder, Colorado

2 Rationale -Measure large-scale spatial gradients for CO2 (13C, 18O), CH4 (13C, D), CO, H2, N2O, and SF6. -Use observed gradients with ATM to quantify sources and sinks. -Provides top-down constraint on GHG budgets.
