CO Emissions inferred from Surface CO Observations over China in December 2013 and 2017

CO_obs.rar includes assimilation observations for 2013 and 2017, independent verification observations for 2014, 2017 and 2018. NCP, YRD, and PRD represent the North China Plain, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta, respectively.

emission_36km_2012.nc and emission_36km_2016.nc are prior emissions, emission_36km_2013.nc and emission_36km_2017.nc are posterior emissions inferred with default 40% uncertainty setting. emission_36km_20.nc and emission_36km_60.nc are posterior emissions inferred with 20% and 60% uncertainty setting, respectively, which are used for sensitivity test. emission_36km_nosuper.nc is posterior emissions inferred without ‘super observation’ method. These files have dimensions of 39 VAR×123 RAW×163 COL and the third variable is CO.
