6. Spaceborne measurements of CO2 can be derived from instruments that measure in near infrared wavelengths (such as OCO-2,  OCO-3, and GOSAT) and from instruments that measure in thermal infrared wavelengths (such as TES, AIRS, and CrIS). Which of the statements below is true? (Pick 1)*5 pointsA. Near infrared spectral measurements can provide sensitivity to variations in CO2 throughout the atmospheric column and can be used in the estimation of sources and sinks.B. Measurements of CO2 spectral bands in the near infrared and thermal infrared measurements of CO2 provide equivalent vertical sensitivity.C. Near infrared spectral measurements can provide information on the fine-scale vertical structure of the shape of the profile of atmospheric CO2.
