Abstract

Abstract

Atmospheric CO₂ is one of key parameters to estimate air-sea CO₂ flux. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite has observed the column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of global atmospheric carbon dioxide (XCO₂) since 2014. In this study, the OCO-2 XCO₂ products were compared between in-situ data from the Total Carbon Column Network (TCCON) and Global Monitoring Division (GMD), and modeling data from CarbonTracker2019 over global ocean and land. Results showed that the OCO-2 XCO₂ data are consistent with the TCCON and GMD in situ XCO₂ data, with mean absolute biases of 0.25×10⁻⁶ and 0.67×10⁻⁶, respectively. Moreover, the OCO-2 XCO₂ data are also consistent with the CarbonTracker2019 modeling XCO₂ data, with mean absolute biases of 0.78×10⁻⁶ over ocean and 1.02×10⁻⁶ over land. The results indicated the high accuracy of the OCO-2 XCO₂ product over global ocean which could be applied to estimate the air-sea CO₂ flux.
