CarbonTracker includes access to the following model and observational data. Please see Citation for CarbonTracker usage policy and citation.

  • 3-D Mole Fractions
    This is a link to our FTP server, where we have made 6-hourly 3-D CO2 mole fraction fields available in NetCDF format for others to use in their work. Images of the contents of these files are included on the website under CO2 Weather.
  • 3-hourly Fluxes
    This is a link to our FTP server, where we have made 3-hourly global surface fluxes available in NetCDF format for others to use in their work. Images of the contents of these files are included on the website under Flux Maps.
  • Source Code
    This is a link to the CarbonTracker source code. The main body of CarbonTracker is the TM5 two-way nested model written in Fortran-90. Additional data needed to run CarbonTracker yourself can be made available upon request.
  • Auxiliary information
    • Our inversion regions are defined in the regions.nc file.
    • The set of "extended" regions formed by post-aggregation from the 22 TransCom regions is defined in the postagg_definitions.nc file.
  • Archives
    This is a link to the CarbonTracker Archive that includes 3-D mole fractions, weekly fluxes, source code, web figures, and documentation from previous releases.

  • Observations
    This is a link to our FTP server, where all NOAA ESRL atmospheric CO2 observations used in CarbonTracker are available in text file format.

    The NOAA ESRL Carbon Cycle Interactive Atmospheric Data Visualization (IADV) website is a data exploration tool that allows users to
    • view all data including near real-time preliminary measurement results.
    • obtain details about each sampling location.
    • manipulate and compare NOAA ESRL data sets.
    • create custom graphs.
    • view their plots on-line with an option to save figures locally for later use.
  • Other Observations
    Users interested in obtaining other observational data used in CarbonTracker should directly contact the measurement laboratory. CarbonTracker collaborators are listed in Collaborators.
