Reviews and syntheses: Carbonyl sulfide as a multi-scale tracer for carbon and water cycles

For the past decade, observations of carbonyl sulfide (OCS or COS) have been investigated as a proxy for carbon uptake by plants. OCS is destroyed by enzymes that interact with CO<sub>2</sub> during photosynthesis, namely carbonic anhydrase (CA) and RuBisCO, where CA is the more imp...
