Assessment of GOSAT/TANSO-FTS CO2 Variations In Relation To Biomass Burning and Vegetation Fires.

It is currently very difficult to develop policies for global climate change because of unresolved scientific uncertainties especially the sources and sinks of important anthropogenic radiatively active gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2).  In particular, vegetation fires emit substantial amounts of CO2, and other greenhouse gases (GHG’s) to the atmosphere. To improve the determination of regional carbon fluxes, it is important to understand CO2 spatial variability from disturbance events such as vegetation fires.

DC-8-based Observations of Atmospheric CO2 in Support of the SEAC4RS and DC3 Regional Studies.

The Southeast Asia Composition, Cloud, and Climate Coupling Regional Study (SEAC4RS) mission is designed to address key questions regarding the influence of Asian emissions on clouds, climate, and air quality. The campaign is motivated by the region’s unique meteorology and sensitivity to rapidly changing emissions of gas phase and aerosol pollutants in Asia.
