Abstract. Carbonyl sulfide (COS) has the potential to be used as a climate diagnostic due its close coupling biospheric uptake of CO2 and role in formation stratospheric aerosol. The current understanding COS budget, however, lacks sources, which have previously been allocated tropical ocean. This paper presents first attempt at global inverse modelling within 4-dimensional variational data-ass...

This commentary considers the positive and negative consequences of early economic modelling and explores potential future directions. Early economic modelling offers device manufacturers an opportunity to assess the potential value of an innovation at an early stage of development. Early modelling can direct resources into potentially viable technologies and reduce inv...

The current paper reviews the experimental setup of the CarboEurope Experimental Strategy (CERES) campaigns with the aim of providing an overview of the instrumentation used, the data-set and associated modelling. It then assesses progress in the field of regional observation and modelling of carbon fluxes, bringing the papers of this special issue into a somewhat broader context of analysis. I...

Abstract. The development and validation of management practices to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock require accurate emission measurements. This study assessed the accuracy a practical inverse dispersion modelling (IDM) technique quantify methane (CH4) emitted small cattle herd (16 animals) confined 63 m × 60 experimental pen. IDM calculates increase in CH4 concentration ...
