Global monthly and 0.1° gap-free XCO2 dataset

This dataset consists of the global continental continuous column-averaged dry-air mole fraction of  carbon dioxide (XCO2, unit: parts per million i.e., ppm) covering the period from September 2014 to December 2020. 

The dataset is derived from the official OCO-2 XCO2 product and incorporates data from multiple sources, including CO2 concentration data, vegetation index data, and meteorological data. We utilized a machine learning approach to generate a monthly-scale gapless CO2 product with a spatial resolution of 0.1°, stored in GeoTiff format.
