• Data Type: "CarbonTracker-Lagrange (CT-L) is a new regional inverse modeling framework currently under development and designed for estimating North American greenhouse gas emissions and uptake fluxes. CT-L uses surface sensitivity footprints from Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Models driven by high-resolution meteorological simulations. Surface fluxes are optimized for a consistency with a variety of in situ and remote sensing observations of CO2 using Bayesian and geostatistical inverse modeling techniques." - GMD CT L website

• Related Issues: This issue is a split of issue #275
