Description

Description

RFR-CCS is a monthly data product of surface pCO2 for the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem. It was built using pCO2 observations from the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas, fit against a variety of driver variables (sources of which are listed below) using a Random Forest Regression, and provided on a 0.25 degree resolution grid from January 1998 to December 2020.
