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

Abstract

The constant rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations is warming the planet and causing climate change. Here, we propose digital filtration with a Laplacian filter for preliminary detection of areas with different changes in the characteristics of natural processes, using CO2 sinks and sources as an example. This approach may improve CO2 monitoring capabilities and enable near-real-time detection of CO2 sources and sinks.
