Characterization of Germany’s greenhouse gas budget within the ITMS framework: Integration of in-situ observations, regional models, and extended flux products at ICOS Tall Towers

Logos

Goals

  • Improve regional emission estimates using inversion modeling with i.e. CarboScope Regional
  • Develop operational greenhouse gas flux products and validation tools for emission assessment and model evaluation

Specifically

  • Use of slow-response eddy-covariance measurements on ICOS tall towers
  • Integration of ICOS in-situ data into CarboScope Regional
  • Model comparison and validation
