ESD Ideas: Near real-time preliminary detection of carbon dioxide source and sink areas using a Laplacian filter

Yana Savytska, Viktor Smolii, and Nils Weitzel

Abstract. The constant rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations is warming the planet and causing climate change. Here, we detect ecosystem areas with weighty changes in the CO2 concentration using digital filtration, similar to image processing techniques, to identify terrestrial CO2 sources and sinks. This approach may improve CO2 monitoring capabilities and enable near real-time detection of CO2 sources and sinks.

Short summary
In recent decades, we have witnessed abnormally hot summers and frequent weather extremes globally. These are clear signs of global warming and climate change. A constant increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major driver of these changes. We propose an algorithm for near-real-time detection of terrestrial areas with CO2 sources and sinks. This algorithm could aid in developing new methods of natural CO2 reduction and exploring ecosystem responses to disturbances.
