Global monitoring of atmospheric greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide (CO2), has been a goal of the U.S. government for over 30 years. The monitoring program evolved into high-precision measurements of global, long-lived greenhouse gases that are used to calculate changes in radiative climate forcing. The change in global radiative forcing caused by increases in atmospheric abundances of long-lived greenhouse gases has been used to define the Annual Greenhouse Gas Index.
