GOSAT/L3/SWIR global CO2 distribution(G1-06)

  • Environmental

L3 global distribution data of CO2 concentration, estimated from L2 CO2 column amount data retrieved from the data observed by TANSO-FTS onboard GOSAT, which was developed as a joint project by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

Notes The L3 global CO2 distribution (SWIR) is a product that stores global distribution of CO2 column-averaged concentration (2.5- by 2.5-degree grid) estimated by spatial inter/extra-polation based on the Kriging method to the L2 CO2 column amount (SWIR).
On Tellus, data in 'HDF5' format, which is published by the GOSAT Data Archive Service, is converted into 'Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF' format.

Notes when using

  • - You can use your derivative works generated in Tellus as you need. Refer here for more information.
  • - Some data prohibits copying the original data to use outside of Tellus including just a part of, or formatted data that can be restored back to the original.
  • - When using data in your own environment outside of Tellus, please notice that some of the data prohibit the usage or downloading. Please make sure to read the data details page.
  • - You need an agreement in advance for commercial use. Please inquire Tellus office.
