Global Carbon Monoxide (CO) Flux Estimates for 2001-2015

This data set contains Global carbon monoxide (CO) flux estimates for 2001-2015 partitioned into biomass burning (BB), fossil fuel (FF) and biogenic (BG) sources. The estimates were created at JPL/Caltech by Anthony Bloom using a Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm (Bloom et al., 2015) applied to top-down CO fluxes obtained from inverse modeling using the GEOS-Chem (with adjoint) model and data from the Terra/MOPITT satellite (Jiang et al., 2017). The spatial resolution is 4.0 x 5.0 degrees lat/lon.

Examples of the use of this data are described in Worden, J., et al., 2017 and Worden, H. et al., 2019.
