Regional CO2 Emission Estimates
Janardanan et al. (2016) used the GOSAT XCO2 data to examine the anthropogenic CO2 emissions from major continental sources across the globe by comparing the simulated and observed XCO2 enhancements and found substantial underestimates in the bottom-up emissions inventory in East Asia.
