The zonal structure of tropical O3 and CO as observed by the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer in November 2004 – Part 1: Inverse modeling of CO emissions
We conduct an inverse modeling analysis of measurements of atmospheric CO from the TES and MOPITT satellite instruments using the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model to quantify emissions of CO in the tropics in November 2004. We also assess the consistency of the information provided by TES and MOPITT on surface emissions of CO. We focus on the tropics in November 2004, during the biomas...
متن کاملDirect top-down estimates of biomass burning CO emissions using TES and MOPITT versus bottom-up GFED inventory
[1] In this study, we utilize near-simultaneous observations from two sets of multiple satellite sensors to segregate Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) and Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) CO observations over active fire sources from those made over clear background. Hence, we obtain direct estimates of biomass burning CO emissions without invoking inverse modeling ...
متن کاملApplication of SCIAMACHY and MOPITT CO total column measurements to evaluate model results over biomass burning regions and Eastern China
We developed a new CO vertical column density product from near IR observations of the SCIAMACHY instrument onboard ENVISAT. For the correction of a temporally and spatially variable offset of the CO vertical column densities we apply a normalisation procedure based on coincident MOPITT (version 4) observations over the oceans. The resulting normalised SCIAMACHY CO data is well suited for the i...
متن کاملTop-down estimates of global CO sources using MOPITT measurements
Newly available space-based measurements of carbon monoxide (CO) from the MOPITT (Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere) instrument offer a unique perspective on tropospheric chemistry. We present a synthesis inversion of CO emissions from various geographical regions and for various source categories for the year 2000 using MOPITT CO retrievals. We find a large discrepancy between our t...
متن کاملMonthly CO surface sources inventory based on the 2000–2001 MOPITT satellite data
[1] This paper presents results of the inverse modeling of carbon monoxide surface sources on a monthly and regional basis using the MOPITT (Measurement Of the Pollution In The Troposphere) CO retrievals. The targeted time period is from April 2000 to March 2001. A sequential and time-dependent inversion scheme is implemented to correct an a priori set of monthly mean CO sources. The a posterio...
