Webinar Description
In the first webinar of the Monitoring Climate from Space series, Michael Buchwitz, Science Leader of the Greenhouse Gas project contributing to ESA's Climate Change Initiative (ESA GHG-CCI), led an insightful session on 18 February on satellite retrievals of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane. Michael is a leading scientist specialising in the retrieval of greenhouse gases from satellites at the University of Bremen.
Michael provided an overview of the current status of space-based observations of CO₂ and methane, explained how atmospheric concentrations were retrieved from satellite measurements, and showed how these data were used to assess human-made emissions and natural sinks. The session also highlighted the project and its links to wider climate services and related application-focused initiatives.
