African Wildfire Carbon Emissions Dataset Derived from Satellite XCO₂ Inversion (2015–2016)

This dataset provides monthly wildfire carbon emissions and terrestrial net ecosystem exchange (NEE) over Africa for the period 2015–2016. It includes both prior and posterior fluxes from two inversion experiments: TIN1 and TIN2. In TIN1, prior wildfire emissions are based on the GFED4s inventory, while TIN2 uses GFAS as the prior. The posterior estimates were obtained through a joint inversion framework assimilating satellite XCO₂ observations from OCO-2 using the Global Carbon Assimilation System version 2 (GCASv2).
