The carbon budget module can only be used when air-sea CO2 flux product preloading is completed. The ways to select an area for carbon budget evaluation include rectangle area, polygon area, and import region.
Click the rectangle button to select a rectangle area to be calculated on the 3D geosphere. After double-clicking the rectangle selection, the selected layer is performed to calculate the area integral of air-sea CO2 flux.
Click the polygon button to select the polygon area to be calculated by clicking the left mouse button on the 3D geosphere. After double-click to complete the polygon selection, the selected region would be applied to the areaintegral air-sea CO2 flux calculation (Figure 2-74).
Import region: after clicking the import region button, select preset sea area. Users can also import the area information file in the pre-drawn .shp format, and area integral calculation is performed for the area covered (Figure 2-75). Note: .shp format files can be produced by ArcGIS and other software.
Click the calculation button to calculate the area integral of CO2 flux for the specified area of the product layer. The result is shown in Figure 2-76.
