Carbon Flux for Posterior Total Carbon data produced by NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS). The dataset is generated by NASA's GES DISC and was last updated in January 2017.
Use Cases
- Modeling global carbon flux using posterior total carbon estimates.
- Analyzing spatial and temporal trends in carbon sources and sinks from geospatial data layers.
- Validating terrestrial biosphere models against CMS flux products.
- Informing policy development with quantified uncertainty estimates for carbon fluxes.
Strengths
- Data originates from NASA's authoritative Carbon Monitoring System program.
- Integrates satellite observations and modeling capabilities for product generation.
Limitations
- Dataset has not been updated since 2017, indicating potential temporal staleness.
- Specific row counts, column details, and geographic resolution are unknown.
