These data belong to a budget whose paper is still in review. They appear in this preview only.
Below you can find the datasets featured in the latest edition of the Low latency Global Carbon Budget.
The Excel workbook has a README sheet that describes its contents.
Please refer to the Fair Use Statements below before using the datasets.
Sinks are positive when carbon is taken up from the atmosphere. Fluxes are in GtC yr−1 (1 GtC = 3.664 GtCO2) and atmospheric growth is in ppm yr−1 (1 ppm = 2.124 GtC). Anomalies are relative to the 2015–2022 mean of the same calendar window.
