Abstract. Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH4) budget is important for assessing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Emissions atmospheric concentrations of CH4 continue increase, maintaining as second most human-influenced greenhouse gas in terms forcing after carbon dioxide (CO2). The relative importance compared CO2 temperature change related its shorter lifetime, stronger radiative effect, acceleration growth rate over past decade, causes which are still...

Abstract Emissions from fossil fuel exploitation are a leading contributor to global anthropogenic methane emissions, but highly uncertain. The lack of reliable estimates hinders monitoring the progress on pledges towards reductions. Here we analyze emissions coal, oil and gas for major producing nations across suite bottom-up inventories inversions. Larger disagreement in exists oil/gas sector compared arising mostly disparate data sources emission factors. Moreover, reported United Nations...

Abstract. We investigate the causes of renewed growth atmospheric methane (CH4) amount fractions after 2007 by using variational inverse modeling with a three-dimensional chemistry-transport model. Together CH4 fraction data, we use additional information provided observations isotopic compositions (13C : 12C and D H) to better differentiate between emission categories compared differentiation achieved assimilating alone. Our system allows us optimize either emissions only or both source...

Abstract. Atmospheric inversion approaches are expected to play a critical role in future observation-based monitoring systems for surface fluxes of greenhouse gases (GHGs), pollutants and other trace gases. In the past decade, research community has developed various software, mainly using variational or ensemble Bayesian optimization methods, with assumptions on uncertainty structures prior information atmospheric chemistry–transport models. Each them can assimilate some all available...

Abstract. Characterizing methane sources in the Arctic remains challenging due to remoteness, heterogeneity and variety of such emissions. In situ campaigns provide valuable datasets reduce these uncertainties. Here we analyse data from summer 2014 SWERUS-C3 campaign eastern Ocean, off shore Siberia Alaska. Total concentrations methane, as well relative 12CH4 13CH4, were measured continuously during this for 35 d July August. Using a chemistry-transport model, link observed isotopic ratios...

Abstract. Atmospheric CH4 mole fractions resumed their increase in 2007 after a plateau during the 1999–2006 period, indicating relative changes sources and sinks. Estimating by exploiting observations within an inverse modeling framework (top-down approaches) is powerful approach. It is, nevertheless, challenging to efficiently differentiate co-located emission categories sinks using alone. As result, top-down approaches are limited when it comes fully understanding burden attributing these...

Abstract This study investigates the requirements for estimating CO 2 emissions at country scale using observational data from Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) atmosphere network, taking Italy as a case study. In particular, we explore potential expansion of Italy’s current atmospheric ICOS network by identifying additional existing and future stations that would most effectively improve constraint carbon flux estimations, with focus on southern region. Through series Observing...

Abstract. Atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations have been rising since 2007 due to an imbalance between CH4 sources and sinks. The budget is generally estimated through top-down approaches using chemistry transport models (CTMs) observations as constraints. atmospheric isotopic composition, δ13C(CH4), can also provide additional constraints helps discriminate emission categories. Nevertheless, be able use the information contained in these observations, must correctly account for...
