Global-Scale Evaluation of XCO2 Products from GOSAT, OCO-2 and CarbonTracker Using Direct Comparison and Triple Collocation Method [PDF]
Triple collocation (TC) shows potential in estimating the errors of various geographical data in the absence of the truth. In this study, the TC techniques are first applied to evaluate the performances of multiple column-averaged dry air CO2 mole ...

Simple Models Outperform More Complex Big‐Leaf Models of Daily Transpiration in Forested Biomes [PDF]
Transpiration makes up the bulk of total evaporation in forested environments yet remains challenging to predict at landscape‐to‐global scales. We harnessed independent estimates of daily transpiration derived from co‐located sap flow and eddy‐covariance
