this is a chemical we may want to consider adding, as a tracer for ecosystem-level photosynthesis. I don't recall seeing it in any datasets yet, though.
from the below EOS article:
"atmospheric scientists, biogeochemists, and oceanographers have proposed measuring a gas called carbonyl sulfide (COS or OCS) to help quantify the contribution that photosynthesis makes to carbon uptake. COS is similar in structure and composition to CO2, with a sulfur atom replacing one of CO2’s oxygen atoms."
