Short summary

Due to a lack of physical measurements at appropriate spatial and temporal scales, all current global maps of fossil fuel carbon dioxide (FFCO₂) emissions use one or more proxies to distribute those emissions. These proxies and distribution schemes introduce additional uncertainty into the maps. This paper examines the uncertainty associated with the magnitude of gridded FFCO₂ emissions and includes uncertainty contributions from the spatial, temporal, proxy, and magnitude components.
