Dataset Overview
Project: Carbon Monitoring System
The NASA Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) program is designed to make significant contributions in characterizing, quantifying, understanding, and predicting the evolution of global carbon sources and sinks through improved monitoring of carbon stocks and fluxes. The System uses NASA satellite observations and modeling/analysis capabilities to establish the accuracy, quantitative uncertainties, and utility of products for supporting national and international policy, regulatory, and management activities. CMS data products are designed to inform near-term policy development and planning.

Application and Derivation
These data provide posterior NEE estimates and posterior CO2 co-samples from the nested CMS-Flux-NA inversion system. The fluxes provided here can be used to study CO2 fluxes over North America (e.g., Figure 2). Atmospheric CO2 inversion analyses are most robust over larger spatial-temporal scales; therefore, limiting analysis to scales of monthly temporal duration and spatial scales of ≥1000 km is recommended.
Figure 2. (a) Bottom-up and (b) top-down (LNLGOGIS) spatial patterns of June–July mean change in NEE (NEE2019 − NEE2018) at 4 × 5-degree spatial resolution. (c) US Midwest and (d) rest of North America 5-week-mean change in NEE. The US Midwest is defined as the area within Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin and is indicated by the black outline in panels (a) and (b). The shading shows the range around the mean estimate for the inversions using three different priors and for the five bottom-up GPP datasets. Source: Byrne et al. (2024).
Quality Assessment
Fluxes were evaluated through comparisons of posterior simulated CO2 concentrations with aircraft CO2 measurements that were not assimilated in the inversions. These co-sample data are also provided here for further analysis. A rough estimate of uncertainty can be obtained through examining the spread in flux estimates resulting from the three different prior NEE models (CASA, SiB3 and FLUXCOM). See Byrne et al. (2024) for a description of this comparison.
Data Acquisition, Materials, and Methods
Atmospheric CO2 inversions were performed with the CMS-Flux-NA model for North America for the months of April to November in 2018 and 2019. The set-up of this inversion system is described in detail in Byrne et al. (2024). In short, atmospheric CO2 data was assimilated using Bayesian inference to optimize weekly CO2 fluxes for land and ocean. Rather than directly optimizing land NEE, the inversion optimized heterotrophic respiration (HR) fluxes that were then combined with prescribed net primary production (NPP) to generate NEE. This approach improved inversion performance, and the component HR and NPP fluxes were not examined. Individual inversions were six weeks long with the first and last week discarded as spin-up/spin-down. A batch of eight six-week inversions, shifted by four weeks, were conducted to cover the entire April 8 to Nov 18 period.
Results for two ensembles of inversions are provided in this dataset. The “standard” experiment is for inversions with climatological prior NEE while the “IAV” experiment has interannual variations in prior NEE. A tree diagram illustrating the 12 individual inversions shown for the “standard” experiment are shown in Figure 3. The diagram shows that four sets of inversions are conducted that differ in assimilated data:
- The “IS” inversions assimilate in situ CO2 measurements from the global network of sites.
- The “LNLG” inversions assimilate OCO-2 land data, including nadir and glint retrievals.
- The “LNLGIS” inversions assimilate both in situ and OCO-2 land data.
- The “LNLGOGIS” inversions assimilate in situ, OCO-2 land data, and OCO-2 ocean glint retrievals.
For each assimilated dataset, three sets of inversions differing in prior fluxes are conducted. These prior NEE estimates were obtained from the GOSAT+surface+TCCON (GIT) experiment of Byrne et al. (2020). These NEE estimates are themselves posterior NEE estimates from inversions that assimilated GOSAT column-averaged dry-air mole fraction (XCO2) retrievals, surface in situ CO2, and TCCON XCO2 in a global inversion over 2010–2015. The three different NEE estimates differ based on prior fluxes used in the inversions, either CASA, SiB3 or FLUXCOM NEE.
Figure 3. Tree diagram showing the 12 inversions conducted for the standard experiment ensemble. For a given experiment, sub-experiments that assimilate different observation using each prior NEE are performed.
Assimilated data
In situ CO2 measurements are obtained from version 8.0 of the NOAA GLOBALVIEW plus Obspack dataset (Schuldt et al., 2022). These data are provided on the X2019 CO2 scale but were back corrected to the X2007 CO2 scale following Hall et al. (2021). Several filters were applied to the in situ data before assimilation. Surface in situ CO2 measurements are assimilated at their respective height above the surface, with inclusion criteria that the model surface elevation should differ by less than 500 m from the 15 arc-second ETOPO1 global elevation dataset (NOAA, 2022) (to exclude observations whose elevation differs significantly from the model grid). Secondly, only assimilate data with the CT assim flag greater than or equal to one, which indicates data that is deemed assimilable for the NOAA CarbonTracker system. Finally, only measurements obtained between 11:00 and 17:00 local time are assimilated (when the atmospheric boundary layer is well mixed). The sites assimilated were: amt, bck, bmw, bra, brw, cba, cby, chl, cps, crv, egb, esp, est, etl, fsd, inu, inx, key, kum, lef, lew, llb, sct, sgp, uta, wbi, wgc, wkt, wsa. The sites with CT assim≥ 1 that are not assimilated were: mbo, mex, mlo, mwo, nwr, omp, uts, wsd. Some sites with CT assim= 0 may be assimilable, but more work is needed to characterize their suitability for assimilation.The CT MDM “model-data-mismatch” values were applied as uncertainties on assimilated measurements. All aircraft data, including the ACT-America campaign data (Davis et al., 2021, 2018; Wei et al., 2021), were withheld for validation purposes
XCO2 data were retrieved using version 10 of NASA’s Atmospheric CO2 Observations from Space (ACOS) full-physics retrieval algorithm (O’Dell et al., 2018). Subsequently, OCO-2 “buddy” super-observations were calculated by averaging individual soundings into super-observations at a spatial resolution of 0.5 × 0.5 degree within the same orbit, assigning equal weights, following the approach by Liu et al. (2017).
See Byrne et al. (2024) for additional details.
