Representing Model Uncertainty for Global Atmospheric CO2 Flux Inversions Using ECMWF-IFS-46R1

Data used in the work "Representing Model Uncertainty for Global Atmospheric CO2 Flux Inversions Using ECMWF-IFS-46R1" - McNorton et al. (2020)

All data generated using version 46R1 of the Integrated Forecast System based at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, with work funded as part of the European Commission CO2 Human Emissions Project.

Data includes global total standard errors for the total column CO2 mixing ratios at 3 hourly intervals for 2015 and both total column and surface transport errors at hourly intervals for January and July 2015, derived from a 50 member ensemble. It is suggested that the data are used by the inverse modelling community to account for transport model errors.
