[Sample]GOSAT L3 global CO2 distribution (SWIR)

  • Optical data

GOSAT L3 global CO₂ distribution (SWIR) is global carbon dioxide concentration data observed by TANSO-FTS onboard GOSAT, which was jointly developed by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and JAXA. The version of these data is V02.98 (Bias corrected).
