Matthew J. McGrath from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique created this dataset of annual carbon dioxide fluxes. The data underpins the graphs in the submitted manuscript "European synthesis of CO2 emissions and removals for EU27 and UK: 1990-2020". It provides a consolidated synthesis of emissions and removals over a 30-year period.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in European carbon dioxide emissions and removals based on the 30-year time series.
- Validate and calibrate regional carbon cycle models based on the consolidated synthesis data.
- Assess the impact of climate policies on net CO2 fluxes for the EU27 and UK based on the annual figures.
- Create visualizations of national and regional carbon budgets based on the data used for the manuscript's graphs.
Strengths
- Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed scientific manuscript submitted to Earth System Science Data.
- Provides a 30-year time series from 1990 to 2020 for consistent longitudinal analysis.
- Covers a defined geographic scope of the EU27 and the United Kingdom.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
