LPJ-EOSIM L2 Global Simulated Monthly Wetland Methane Flux Low Latency V001

Description

The Lund-Potsdam-Jena Earth Observation SIMulator (LPJ-EOSIM) model estimates global wetland methane (CH4) emissions using simulated wetland extent and characteristics including soil moisture, temperature, and carbon content. For this dataset, wetlands are defined as land areas that are either permanently or seasonally saturated, excluding small ponds, lakes, and coastal wetlands. These wetland CH4 flux data will be used to support the United States Greenhouse Gas Center ([GHGC](https://earth.gov/ghgcenter)) and its mission to study natural GHG fluxes. The model will also be used to facilitate improved rapid detection and attribution of climate-carbon feedback, and in strategic placement of measurement campaigns and monitoring systems as they relate to predicted biogeochemical hotspots. The LPJ-EOSIM L2 Global Simulated Monthly Wetland Methane Flux Low Latency (LPJ_EOSIM_L2_MCH4E_LL) Version 1 data product provides simulated monthly wetland CH4 flux globally at a spatial resolution of 0.5 degrees. The monthly simulation data contains aggregate versions of the daily LPJ-EOSIM L2 Global Simulated Daily Wetland Methane Flux Low Latency ([LPJ_EOSIM_L2_DCH4E_LL](https://doi.org/10.5067/Community/LPJ-EOSIM/LPJ_EOSIM_L2_DCH4E_LL.001)) Version 1 data. The monthly data are presented in four Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) files: two based on the aggregated daily forcing datasets Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA-2) and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis (ERA5), and two containing the mean and standard deviation values calculated from the monthly aggregate data. Due to the latency of global carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration estimates required for computation of LPJ-EOSIM simulated monthly CH4 flux data products, low latency (LPJ_EOSIM_L2_MCH4E_LL) and high latency ([LPJ_EOSIM_L2_MCH4E](https://doi.org/10.5067/Community/LPJ-EOSIM/LPJ_EOSIM_L2_MCH4E.001)) collections are available. Low latency data are delivered on a two-month cadence throughout the year. Granules will also be updated as new CO2 input data become available. Please refer to Section 2.0.1 of the User Guide for a more detailed explanation of estimated CO2 inputs and timing for scheduled updates to the collections.
