Zusammenfassung |
We combine CO column measurements from the MOPITT, AIRS, SCIAMACHY, and TES
satellite instruments in a full-year (May 2004–April 2005) global inversion
of CO sources at 4°×5° spatial resolution and monthly
temporal resolution. The inversion uses the GEOS-Chem chemical transport
model (CTM) and its adjoint applied to MOPITT, AIRS, and SCIAMACHY.
Observations from TES, surface sites (NOAA/GMD), and aircraft (MOZAIC) are
used for evaluation of the a posteriori solution. Using GEOS-Chem as a common
intercomparison platform shows global consistency between the different
satellite datasets and with the in situ data. Differences can be largely
explained by different averaging kernels and a priori information. The global
CO emission from combustion as constrained in the inversion is
1350 Tg a−1. This is much higher than current bottom-up emission
inventories. A large fraction of the correction results from a seasonal
underestimate of CO sources at northern mid-latitudes in winter and suggests
a larger-than-expected CO source from vehicle cold starts and residential
heating. Implementing this seasonal variation of emissions solves the
long-standing problem of models underestimating CO in the northern
extratropics in winter-spring. A posteriori emissions also indicate a general
underestimation of biomass burning in the GFED2 inventory. However, the
tropical biomass burning constraints are not quantitatively consistent across
the different datasets. |
