It’s Earth Day and to mark the occasion I wanted to share three graphics that I’ve found particularly useful for communicating our understanding of the current state of the carbon balance and our options for the future. The first comes from the Global Carbon Budget (Friedlingstein et al., 2021) and illustrates the sinks, sources and …

Better reflectance through more realistic irradiance
Link to paper Airborne hyperspectral measurements are used to derive the reflective properties of the land-surface from the visible to the near-infrared light and beyond. For vegetation, these reflective properties can be used to gain information on its structure and health. To calculate reflectance from measurements of reflected light (radiance), we need to know the …
