A recent study provides maps of man-made carbon dioxide anomalies around the globe. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas and its increase in the atmosphere is responsible for the global warming. CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels. Satellite-based observations provide information on the concentration of …
Methane continues to increase in our atmosphere, and now researchers want to quantify the role of high Northern latitudes to this increase. Earth-observing satellites open the window to this remote, rapidly changing environment. Carbon cycle in the Arctic and boreal regions links strongly to the evolving cryosphere – ice, snow and frost. Especially natural methane …
Recent research by ESA Living Planet Fellow Marco Bellacicco in the frame of project PHYSIOGLOB gives new insights on how the choice of the regression method influences the derived bio-optical relationships in optical and satellite oceanographic studies. The authors compare the results obtained with diverse regression methods on the same bio-optical data set and quantify …
