Set of model simulations employed to estimate the influences of changes in regional land-surface CO₂ fluxes and atmospheric transport on CO₂ concentrations over South Korea (SK) and North Korea (NK) for during 2000–2016
T: All variables are transient
FIX^a, FIX^b, FIX^c: CO₂ flux in 2000 is repeatedly prescribed in SK, NK, and eastern China, respectively
