The Global Carbon Budget is an annual living data publication of carbon cycle
sources and sinks, generated from multiple data sources and by multiple
organisations and research groups.

This Data Package makes the data from the 2019 Global Carbon Budget and National Emissions Excel files v1.0 available as CSV files. For updates of the original data and further information refer to the
Global Carbon Budget website.

Maintainer of this Data Package is Robert Gieseke ([email protected]).

Notes

The Global Carbon Budget data is written to CSV files using the
accuracy used for display in the original Excel, or one digit more files
assuming this to be the implied precision.

The National Emissions are written to CSV files with three significant digits
as this is the accuracy used for the CDIAC data in the Excel file, thus
rounding the numbers derived from splitting up countries or using trend data as
with BP emissions data.

If other accuracy is needed adjust the processing scripts accordingly.
