Short summary

The European CO2M mission is a proposed constellation of CO₂ imaging satellites expected to monitor CO₂ emissions of large cities. Using synthetic observations, we show that a constellation of two or more satellites should be able to quantify Berlin's annual emissions with 10–20 % accuracy, even when considering atmospheric transport model errors. We therefore expect that CO2M will make an important contribution to the monitoring and verification of CO₂ emissions from cities worldwide.
