FFDAS Carbon Dioxide Emissions

This video provides an overview of the Fossil Fuel Data Assimilation System (FFDAS). This system quantifies fossil fuel CO2 emissions for the whole planet at 10 km every hour for the 1997 to 2011 time period. We show both the fluxes of FFCO2 leaving the planet’s surface and the realization of those fluxes in the atmosphere using an atmospheric transport simulation.
