Atmospheric O2:N2 ratios measured over time, together with the mixing ratio of atmospheric carbon dioxide, are the most direct means available for scientifically documenting the global sources and sinks of CO2, the dominant anthropogenic greenhouse gas. This then is primary data informing the assessment reports issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on behalf of the climate community and which serve to advise WMO (World Meteorological Organization) and UNEP (United Nations Environmental Programme). These reports in turn are the basis for many national and international responses to climate change science, mitigation and adaptation strategies. Since 1989, Scripps investigators, in conjunction with the CO2 global sampling network (initiated by CD Keeling), have sustained a regular (semi-weekly) sampling and measurement program over ~ 9 global stations to document changes in the global atmospheric O2/N2 ratio. Additional evaluation of another atmospheric mixing ratio (Ar/N2) will be sought to provide insight into the global ocean-atmosphere heat exchange.

随着时间的推移测量的大气 O2:N2 比率以及大气二氧化碳的混合比率是科学记录全球主要人为温室气体二氧化碳源和汇的最直接手段。这是政府间气候变化专门委员会 (IPCC) 代表气候界发布的评估报告的主要数据，并为 WMO（世界气象组织）和 UNEP（联合国环境规划署）提供建议。这些报告反过来又成为许多国家和国际应对气候变化科学、缓解和适应战略的基础。 自 1989 年以来，斯克里普斯研究人员与 CO2 全球采样网络（由 CD Keeling 发起）合作，在约 9 个全球站上开展了定期（半周）采样和测量计划，以记录全球大气 O2/N2 比率的变化。将寻求对另一种大气混合比（Ar/N2）的额外评估，以深入了解全球海洋-大气热交换。
