Product Description

This product contains synthetic OCO-2 (b10) LNLG columns that are optimally consistent with CO2 mole fraction measurements over North America from September 2014- August 2015, column background and surface flux impacts and source code to analyse these data and recreate Figures. 2, 3, 4 and all figures in S1.
Biospheric flux impact on total column CO2 was determined using 3 hourly flux fields from from Hu et al., 2019 (https://doi.org/10.15138/3dw1-5c37), specifically fluxes using CT2016 mole fraction fields as boundary condition.
Column footprints generated using WRF-STILT and source code to generate them are available on request. These scripts are modifications of original code by Arlyn Andrews, Kirk Thoning and Micheal Trudeau. Code was modified to optimally run on the NASA Pleiades supercomputer by Bharat Rastogi and John Mund. Please contact Bharat Rastogi for additional questions.
