EMMA CH4
A joint effort to deliver satellite retrieved atmospheric CH4 concentrations for surface flux inversions The ensemble median algorithm EMMA CH4
Overview Since long time, climate modellers use ensemble approaches to calculate the ensemble median and to estimate uncertainties of climate projections where no ground-truth is known. Following this idea, the ensemble median algorithm EMMA CH4 composes level 2 data of five GOSAT retrievals developed by NIES, SRON, and the University of Leicester. EMMA CH4 determines in 10x10 degree grid boxes monthly averages and selects the level 2 data of the median algorithm.

EMMA CH4

A joint effort to deliver satellite retrieved atmospheric CH4 concentrations for surface flux inversions
The ensemble median algorithm EMMA CH4

Overview

Since long time, climate modellers use ensemble approaches to calculate the ensemble median and to estimate uncertainties of climate projections where no ground-truth is known. Following this idea, the ensemble median algorithm EMMA CH4 composes level 2 data of five GOSAT retrievals developed by NIES, SRON, and the University of Leicester. EMMA CH4 determines in 10x10 degree grid boxes monthly averages and selects the level 2 data of the median algorithm.
