Researchers have developed a deep-learning framework called Footprint-Aware Regression (FAR) to improve the accuracy of carbon flux predictions. This new approach accounts for the spatial footprint of eddy-covariance (EC) flux towers, which are crucial for ground-truth data in upscaling models. By simultaneously predicting spatial footprints and pixel-level CO2 flux estimates, FAR aims to eliminate bias in predictions, especially in heterogeneous landscapes where satellite data resolution exceeds tower footprints. The framework demonstrated improved performance on the AMERI-FAR25 dataset, outperforming traditional models and showing gains across various ecosystem types. AI
