Methane simulations • Methane lowest model layer forced to observed concentrations. Global monthly atmospheric methane loss (CH4+OH) derived. • Methane emissions: Bousquet (inversion Nature 2005) (Results from similar simulations with all models in hymn database spring 2008) Emissions scaled to assure close balance (avoid drift over time in methane): Bousquet=Loss=494 Tg/yr 3. Methane emissions: Anthropogenic: IIASA, ”Biogenic”: LPJ, Biomass burning: GFED Also scaled: IAASA+LPJ+GFED= Bousquet=Loss Global total emissions in 2 and 3 equal. But different distributions and amounts regionally

BjørnWirkola won the Four Hills Tournament and the competitions in Garmisch from 1967 to 1969. The common parlance expression jumping after Wirkola has come to refer to situations where one embarks on a task where one's predecessor has done a particularly good job – or where one is unlikely to succeed.
