Andy Jacobson and Ken Schuldt, carbon dioxide observations
The CIRES CarbonTracker Team of Andy Jacobson and Ken Schuldt (NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory) made substantial improvements to NOAA's CarbonTracker CO2 Data Assimilation System, a widely used and respected tool for biospheric and oceanic surface flux estimations, satellite retrieval evaluation, analysis of field campaign data, and model comparisons. They have worked with more than 100 data providers from 71 institutions to assemble the most comprehensive set of in situ CO2 observations ever produced, which is widely distributed to other researchers via NOAAs ObsPack data portal.
