Short summary
We provide a quantitative analysis of global CO emissions and drivers of atmospheric CO trends in 2003–2022, using GEOS-Chem adjoint model constrained by satellite CO measurements. Our results indicate a substantial decline in global anthropogenic CO emissions of 14 %–17 % over the two-decade period, as well as an important offsetting effect from biomass burning emissions on atmospheric CO decline driven by anthropogenic reductions, primarily attributable to extreme wildfire events in 2021.
