This paper assesses the performance of observed XCO2 from the GOSAT and OCO-2 satellites in capturing simulated XCO2 from the NOAA Carbon Tracker model over Africa. These satellite observations and Carbon Tracker mixing ratios near the surface are also compared to available in situ CO2 flask data from Assekrem, Algeria; Mt. Kenya; Gobabeb, Namibia; and Cape Town; as well as to data off the coast at Seychelles, Ascension Island, and at Izana, Tenerife.
