abstract = "When estimating fossil fuel carbon dioxide (FFCO2) emissions from
observed CO2 concentrations, the accuracy can be hampered by
biogenic carbon exchanges during the growing season, even for
urban areas where strong fossil fuel emissions are found. While
biogenic carbon fluxes have been studied extensively across
natural vegetation types, biogenic carbon fluxes within an urban
area have been challenging to quantify due to limited observations
and differences between urban and rural regions. Here we developed
a simple model representation, i.e., Solar-Induced Fluorescence
(SIF) for Modeling Urban biogenic Fluxes ({"}SMUrF{"}), that
estimates the gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem
respiration (Reco) over cities around the globe. Specifically, we
leveraged space-based SIF, machine learning, eddy-covariance (EC)
flux data, and ancillary remote-sensing-based products, and we
developed algorithms to gap-fill fluxes for urban areas.
Grid-level hourly mean net ecosystem exchange (NEE) fluxes are
extracted from SMUrF and evaluated against (1) non-gap-filled
measurements at 67 EC sites from FLUXNET during 2010-2014 (r>0.7
for most data-rich biomes), (2) independent observations at two
urban vegetation and two crop EC sites over Indianapolis from
August 2017 to December 2018 (rCombining double low line0.75), and
(3) an urban biospheric model based on fine-grained land cover
classification in Los Angeles (rCombining double low line0.83).
Moreover, we compared SMUrF-based NEE with inventory-based FFCO2
emissions over 40 cities and addressed the urban-rural contrast in
both the magnitude and timing of CO2 fluxes. To illustrate the
application of SMUrF, we used it to interpret a few summertime
satellite tracks over four cities and compared the urban-rural
gradient in column CO2 (XCO2) anomalies due to NEE against XCO2
enhancements due to FFCO2 emissions. With rapid advances in
space-based measurements and increased sampling of SIF and CO2
measurements over urban areas, SMUrF can be useful to inform the
biogenic CO2 fluxes over highly vegetated regions during the
growing season.",
