Journal ArticleDOI
On the Ability of Space-Based Passive and Active Remote Sensing Observations of CO2 to Detect Flux Perturbations to the Carbon Cycle
Sean Crowell,S. Randolph Kawa,Edward V. Browell,Dorit Hammerling,Berrien Moore,Kevin Schaefer,Scott C. Doney,Scott C. Doney +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the enhanced flux constraint provided by the improved coverage from an active measurement such as ASCENDS and showed that with sufficient precision, ASCENs will detect permafrost thaw and fossil fuel emissions shifts at annual and seasonal time scales, even in the presence of transport errors, representativeness errors, and biogenic flux errors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon consequences of global hydrologic change, 1948–2009
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine FLUXNET data with reanalyzed evaporative fraction and dynamic land cover to create monthly global carbon flux anomalies attributable to hydrologic change from 1948 to 2009.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forests dominate the interannual variability of the North American carbon sink
Y. P. Shiga,Y. P. Shiga,Anna M. Michalak,Yuanyuan Fang,Kevin Schaefer,Arlyn E. Andrews,Deborah H Huntzinger,Christopher R. Schwalm,Christopher R. Schwalm,Kirk Thoning,Yaxing Wei +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the biome-level attribution and drivers of North American NEE using inverse estimates derived from a dense network of atmospheric CO2 observations and find that deciduous broadleaf and mixed forests are the primary regions responsible for NEE IAV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does Terrestrial Drought Explain Global CO2 Flux Anomalies Induced by El Nino
Christopher R. Schwalm,Christopher B. Williams,Kevin Schaefer,Ian Baker,G. J. Collatz,Christian Rödenbeck +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate whether El Nino produces a consistent response from the global carbon cycle and evaluate the overall consistency of biospheric response to El-Nino and, more generally, the link between global CO2 flux anomalies and ElNino-induced drought.
Journal ArticleDOI
