These are the flux priors for CT2017, comprising two biosphere model NEE (excluding wildfire), two wildfire emissions, two air-sea gas exchange estimates, and two fossil fuel emissions scenarios. Do not use these priors without obtaining consent from the upstreams data providers. Please contact us at carbontracker.team@noaa.gov to discuss what sorts of rstrictions may be placed on these data. The prior fluxes are: b4 - GFED 4.1s land NEE (excluding wildfire) bc - GFED_CMS land NEE (excluding wildfire) w4 - GFED 4.1s wildfire wc - GFED_CMS wildfire oi - OIF ocean inversion fluxes oc - Climatological (Takahashi et al. 2009) pCO2 ocean flux with trend fm - Miller fossil fuel fo - ODIAC fossil fuel See the CT2017 documentation for details about these priors. Files ending in prior_3hrly.nc are 3-hourly and files ending in prior.nc are weekly. See the CT2017 documentation for details about temporal downscaling of the NEE, fossil, and wildfire emissions.
