Integrated Methane Inversion (Imi) 2.0: An Improved Research And Stakeholder Tool For Monitoring Total Methane Emissions With High Resolution Worldwide Using Tropomi Satellite Observations

Satellite observations of atmospheric methane are a powerful resource for quantifying methane emissions over any region worldwide. The inverse methods needed to infer emissions from these observations require a high level of scientific and technical expertise as well as access to large computational and data processing resources. The Integrated Methane Inversion (IMI) is an open-access…

Htap3 Fires: Towards A Multi-Model, Multi-Pollutant Study Of Fire Impacts

Open biomass burning has major impacts globally and regionally on atmospheric composition. Fire emissions include particulate matter, tropospheric ozone precursors, and greenhouse gases, as well as persistent organic pollutants, mercury, and other metals. Fire frequency, intensity, duration, and location are changing as the climate warms, and modelling these fires and their impacts is becoming more…

Seasonality And Synchrony Of Photosynthesis In African Forests Inferred From Spaceborne Chlorophyll Fluorescence And Vegetation Indices

Global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are largely driven by changes in fossil fuel emissions and terrestrial photosynthesis, of which tropical forests account for one-third. Relative to other tropical regions, less is known about the seasonality of African tropical forest productivity and its synchrony with environmental factors due to a lack of in situ carbon flux…
