GOSAT/L4B/global CO2 distribution(G1-10)
- Environmental
L4B global three-dimensional distribution data of CO2 concentration, estimated from L4A CO2 flux data estimated from the information 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 L4B global CO2 distribution is a product that stores global three-dimensional distributions of CO2 concentration (6-hourly, 2.5-degree mesh, 17 vertical levels and column average) estimated from the L4A global CO2 flux using an atmospheric transport model. The original data consists of 17 vertical levels. On Tellus, data in 'NetCDF' format, which is published by the GOSAT Data Archive Service, is converted into 'Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF' format. The original data is structured to contain one month's worth of values per file, but here it is divided into one file per day. Additionally, the original data's 17 vertical layer values are structured as bands in the GeoTIFF. Furthermore, the column-averaged concentration, which was calculated separately, is added to the first band and set as the initial display. Additionally, the original data is included in the scene corresponding to the first day of the month. |
