Radiocarbon and satellite data hint at the future of California emissions.
NASA Carbon Monitoring System (CMS)
Eight new carbon flux datasets have been released by the Goddard Earth Sciences (GES) Data and Information Services Center (DISC).
Domain of the South Atlantic Bight and Gulf of Mexico (SABGOM) model showing water depth (m). For analysis, the Gulf was divided into five subregions used in this study, which are Mexico Shelf (MX), Western Gulf of Mexico Shelf (WGoM), Northern Gulf of Mexico Shelf (NGoM), West Florida Shelf (WF), and open ocean. Arrows indicate the Loop Current (figure from Xue et al., 2016).
Output from the South Atlantic Bight and Gulf of Mexico (SABGOM) model provides insight into biogeochemical cycling and three-dimensional ocean circulation in a gulf-wide context.
Map of Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) station locations used to temporally downscale DARTE annual FFCO2 emissions from the on-road sector to hourly ACES emissions. Background color shows annual total emissions in ACES for the on-road sector in 2011 (Figure S5, Gately and Hutyra, 2017).
Data from NASA's Carbon Monitoring System provides estimates of CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels for the Northeastern United States.
The 2014 LiDAR campaign covered 90 survey sites and approximately 100,000 hectares across the Indonesian portion of the island of Borneo (from Hagen 2015).
NASA's Carbon Monitoring System collected LiDAR data from Indonesia as part of a national forest carbon inventory.
Estimated aboveground biomass (Mg/ha) for Sonoma County at 30-m spatial resolution using the random forest method. Zoom-in figure is a subset near Santa Rosa, the largest city in California's North Coast.
High-resolution estimates of aboveground biomass, canopy height, and percent tree cover are available for Sonoma County, California, USA.
Global monthly 0.5-deg by 0.5-deg wetland methane emissions from (a) the full ensemble (2009-2010) and (b) extended ensemble (2001-2015). From Bloom et al. (2017).
NASA's Carbon Monitoring System releases data characterizing monthly global methane emissions and uncertainty from wetlands.
Canopy height for a mangrove forest region of the Zambezi River Delta, Mozambique.
New data from NASA's Carbon Monitoring System describe carbon-dense mangrove ecosystems.
Study area in California showing the 16 air basin regions and 10 tower sites. Region 17 is the area outside of California.
Scientists with the NASA Carbon Monitoring System have released simulated CO2 emission signals for 16 regions in California, USA.
