TRPSCRECOAM2D: Global Anthropogenic Carbon Monoxide Emissions Monthly Grid

Global anthropogenic carbon monoxide emissions are estimated from 2005 to 2021 using the Tropospheric Chemical Reanalysis v2 (TCR-2). TCR-2 uses JPL's MOMO-Chem data assimilation framework to simultaneously optimize concentrations and emissions from multiple satellite sensors. The data are provided as monthly grids at a spatial resolution of 1.125 x 1.125 degrees.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in human-made CO emissions over time based on the monthly time series from 2005-2021.
• Mapping the spatial distribution of anthropogenic CO sources based on the 2-dimensional gridded data.
• Validating or improving atmospheric chemistry models using the reanalysis-optimized emission estimates.
• Assessing regional contributions to global CO emissions based on the 1.125-degree spatial grid.

Strengths

• Provides a 17-year continuous time series (2005-2021) for analyzing long-term emission trends.
• Uses a sophisticated multi-species, multi-model data assimilation framework (MOMO-Chem) to optimize emissions.
• Offers a consistent global spatial grid at 1.125-degree resolution for comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Column names and detailed variable metadata are not provided in the available descriptions.
• The license is ambiguously described as 'other-license-specified' without clear terms.
• Data freshness is unclear as the last update date is inconsistent across platform entries.
