Monitoring of Atmospheric Carbon Monoxide fluxes in Predicting the Commencement of Planting Season in West AfricaPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: 2012 Dallas, Texas, July 29 - August 1, 2012 121340978.(doi:10.13031/2013.42023)Authors: Marvel Lola Akinyemi Keywords: Prediction, CO fluxes, Planting season A study of the influence of background Carbon Monoxide CO fluxes from 2000 to 2010 as released by satellite observatory system from the Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument was done. Studies of the data for the twelve months of the year were done over the West African region from latitude 2oN to 15oN. The data for December and January to April followed a particular trend which was observed to be relevant in the prediction of when the new planting season could commence.
