英文摘要 | Brazil's CH4 emissions over the period 2010- 2018 were derived for the three main sectors of activity: anthropogenic, wetland and biomass burning. Our inverse modelling estimates were derived from GOSAT (Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite) satellite measurements of XCH4 combined with surface data from Ragged Point, Barbados, and the high-resolution regional atmospheric transport model NAME (Numerical Atmospheric-dispersion Modelling Environment). We find that Brazil's mean emissions over 2010- 2018 are 33:63:6Tgyr1, which are comprised of 19:0 2:6Tgyr1 from anthropogenic (primarily related to agriculture and waste), 13:01:9Tgyr1 from wetlands and 1:7 0:3Tgyr1 from biomass burning sources. In addition, between the 2011-2013 and 2014-2018 periods, Brazil's mean emissions rose by 6:95:3Tgyr1 and this increase may have contributed to the accelerated global methane growth rate observed during the latter period. We find that wetland emissions from the western Amazon increased during the start of the 2015-2016 El Nino by 3:72:7Tgyr1 and this is likely driven by increased surface temperatures. We also find that our estimates of anthropogenic emissions are consistent with those reported by Brazil to the United Framework Convention on Climate Change. We show that satellite data are beneficial for constraining national-scale CH4 emissions, and, through a series of sensitivity studies and validation experiments using data not assimilated in the inversion, we demonstrate that (a) calibrated ground-based data are important to include alongside satellite data in a regional inversion and that (b) inversions must account for any offsets between the two data streams and their representations by models. © Author(s) 2020.
