Earth's carbon dioxide super-emitters have been revealed in a new NASA map that shows just how much greenhouse gases are being pumped out by more than 100 countries.
NASA scraps the GeoCarb mission, a satellite intended to monitor climate change to prioritize tracking greenhouse gas emissions. The organization, however, maintains that it is still committed to researching climate change research.
A new way for journalists to get more accurate numbers on global greenhouse gas emissions was introduced by former Vice President Al Gore at the recent United Nations’ climate change gathering in Egypt. Reporter’s Toolbox looks under the hood of Climate Trace, which is the result of work by more than 100 collaborators and compiles data from some 300 specialized satellites and
To better track carbon pledges and support mitigation finance, World Bank researchers have developed a new database and web facility that place carbon data at the user’s fingertips.
We show new results from an updated version of the Fast atmOspheric traCe gAs retrievaL (FOCAL) retrieval method applied to measurements of the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) and its successor GOSAT-2. FOCAL was originally developed for estimating the total column carbon dioxide mixing ratio (XCO2) from spectral measurements made by the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2). However, depending on the available spectral windows, FOCAL also successfully retrieves total column amounts for other atmospheric species and their uncertainties within one single retrieval. The main focus o...
