Using Airborne Measurements to Inform and Improve CO₂ Flux Estimates Derived from OCO Data

Quantifying CO₂ flux estimates from satellites like OCO is important for better understanding the carbon cycle. A new study by Yun et al. demonstrates the value of bringing in aircraft measurements for quantifying and reducing errors in regional surface CO₂ flux estimates. This study underscores the value of combining information from multiple platforms, like satellites, surface-based and airborne.
