Anthropogenic CO2 emissions assessment of Nile Delta using XCO2 and SIF data from OCO-2 satellite

We estimate CO _2 emissions from the Nile Delta region of Egypt, using over five years of column-averaged CO _2 dry air mole fraction (XCO _2 ) data from the NASA’s OCO-2 satellite. The Nile Delta has significant anthropogenic emissions of CO _2 from urban areas and irrigated farming. It is surround...
