Estimation of the tropospheric and stratospheric CO2 content by ground-based IR technique
Published: 05 July 2021; https://doi.org/10.1134/S0001433821020110 Measured solar spectra of high spectral resolution possess specific information about the vertical distribution of some atmospheric gases. The assessment of the spectra informational value is provided by determining a degree of freedom for signal (dofs). This can be obtained from the solar spectra. Such information can be used to … Continue reading Estimation of the tropospheric and stratospheric CO2 content by ground-based IR technique

Modelling and validation of near-surface CO2 mixing ratio in Saint-Petersburg urban area, Russia
Since megacities largely determine the amount of anthropogenic CO2 emitted into the atmosphere (up to 70%), which is the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas, it is crucial to estimate emissions of this gas from a particular city and even on a city-scale. An inverse modelling of CO2 emissions is a promising approach of the emission … Continue reading Modelling and validation of near-surface CO2 mixing ratio in Saint-Petersburg urban area, Russia
