DQ-1 Aerosols and Carbon Dioxide Lidar detects orbital data on power plant emissions

This dataset provides orbital enhancement data from June through December 2022 from DQ-1 satellites detecting point source emissions from power plants worldwide. The dataset contains information on the longitude, latitude and column carbon dioxide concentration for 17 DQ-1 orbits through power plants, with the units corresponding to each variable described in the file, and is stored in nc file format., Retrieval of XCO2 by differential absorption process and converted to column concentration.
