Documents (see below) are either related to all products (e.g., User Requirements Document (URD)) or are related to specific data sets called "Climate Research Data Packages" (CRDP).

The 3rd GHG-CCI+ CRDP is CRDP7 and consists of the following data products:

  • CO2_OC2_FOCA (v10): XCO2 from OCO-2 retrieved with the FOCAL algorithm. The product is global and covers the period Sept 2014 - Mar 2021.
  • CH4_S5P_WFMD (v1.5): XCH4 from S5P/TROPOMI retrieved with the WFMD algorithm. Global, Nov 2017 - Dec 2020.
  • CO2_TAN_OCFP (v1.2): XCO2 from TanSat retrieved with the OCFP (or UoL-FP) algorithm. Global, land. Mar 2017 - May 2018.
  • CO2_GO2_SRFP (v2.0.0): XCO2 from GOSAT-2 retrieved with the SRON SRFP (or RemoTeC Full Physics (FP)) algorithm. Global, Feb 2019 - Jul 2020.
  • CH4_GO2_SRFP (v2.0.0): XCH4 from GOSAT-2 retrieved with the SRON SRFP (or RemoTeC Full Physics (FP)) algorithm. Global, Feb 2019 - Jul 2020.
  • CH4_GO2_SRPR (v2.0.0): XCH4 from GOSAT-2 retrieved with the SRON SRPR (or RemoTeC Proxy (PR)) algorithm. Global, Feb 2019 - Jul 2020.

The second GHG-CCI+ CRDP is CRDP6 and consists of the following data products:

  • CO2_OC2_FOCA (v09): XCO2 from OCO-2 retrieved with the FOCAL algorithm. The product is global and covers the period Jan 2015 - May 2020.
  • CH4_S5P_WFMD (v1.2): XCH4 from S5P/TROPOMI retrieved with the WFMD algorithm. Global, Nov 2017 - Apr 2020.
  • CO2_TAN_OCFP (v1.0): XCO2 from TanSat retrieved with the OCFP (or UoL-FP) algorithm. This initial product is (currently) limited to retrievals over land covers the two months June and August 2017.
  • CO2_GO2_SRFP (v1.0.0): XCO2 from GOSAT-2 retrieved with the SRON SRFP (or RemoTeC Full Physics (FP)) algorithm. Global, Feb 2019 - Oct 2019.
  • CH4_GO2_SRFP (v1.0.0): XCH4 from GOSAT-2 retrieved with the SRON SRFP (or RemoTeC Full Physics (FP)) algorithm. Global, Feb 2019 - Oct 2019.
  • CH4_GO2_SRPR (v1.0.0): XCH4 from GOSAT-2 retrieved with the SRON SRPR (or RemoTeC Proxy (PR)) algorithm. Global, Feb 2019 - Oct 2019.

The first GHG-CCI+ CRDP (available since March 2020) is CRDP5 and consists of the following products:

  • CO2_OC2_FOCA (v08): XCO2 from OCO-2 retrieved with the FOCAL algorithm. The product is global and covers the period 2015 - 2017.
  • CH4_S5P_WFMD (v1.2): XCH4 from S5P/TROPOMI retrieved with the WFMD algorithm. The product is global and covers the period Nov-2017 - 2018.
  • CO2_TAN_OCFP (v1.0): XCO2 from TanSat retrieved with the OCFP (or UoL-FP) algorithm. This initial product is (currently) limited to TCCON sites and covers the period 2017 - 2018.

Note that all GHG-CCI pre-cursor project data products (CRDP1-CRDP4) are now generated operationally via C3S and latest versions of these products are available via the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS).
