  4. Optimized inventory GOME (E) A priori (E’) A posteriori (E”) 1010atoms N cm-2 s-1 Combine top-down GOME emissions (E,err) with a priori emissions (E’,err’) weighted by relative errors  optimized inventory: ln(E”) = ln(E) ln(err’)2 + ln(E’) ln(err)2 ln(err’)2 + ln(err)2 ln(err”)-2 = ln(err’)-2 + ln(err)-2

  5. Fuel Combustion A priori A posteriori 1010atoms N cm-2 s-1 r = 0.96 (±80%) (±40%) United States Europe East Asia Line: A priori (FF+BF) A poster : 6.4 TgN/yr A priori : 6.3 TgN/yr 4.9 TgN/yr 4.9 TgN/yr 5.2 TgN/yr 4.8 TgN/yr A posteri. total Bars: A posteriori (FF+BF) • Aseasonal a posteriorifuel combustion emissions except for Europe and East Asia (wintertime heating) • China and India (4.4 and 1.7 TgN/yr) are 38% and 43% higher than Streets et al. [2003] inventory

  6. GWEM Hoelzemann, ’05 5 TgN/yr Biomass Burning (2000) A priori A posteriori 1010atoms N cm-2 s-1 r = 0.85 (±200%) (±80%) SE Asia/India: 46% decrease N. Eq. Africa: 50% increase Line: A priori (BB) SE Asia/India N. Eq. Africa S. Eq. Africa A posteriori total Bars: A posteriori (BB) • Good agreement with BB seasonality from Duncan et al. [2003]

  7. Largest soil emissions:seasonally dry tropical ecosystems +fertilized cropland ecosystems North Eq. Africa Soils Onset of rainy season: Pulsing of soil NOx! Soil emissions A posteriori (8.9 TgN/yr) 68% larger than a priori! r = 0.79 A priori A posteriori (±90%) (±200%)

  8. Mid-latitudes soil emissions: 3.9 TgN/yr (a priori: 1.7 TgN/yr) United States Europe East Asia Soils Bars: a posteriori Lines: a priori • Summer mid-latitudes: soils account for ~50% of FF emissions! • East Asia (soils = 1 TgN/yr) consistent with inverse modeling study of Yuxuan Wang et al. [2004]

  9. Summary • Fuel combustion emissions: 25.6 TgN/yr (±40%) within 10% of a priori emissions. • Biomass burning emissions: 5.8 TgN/yr (±80%) vs a priori 5.9 TgN/yr (±200%). Large differences: N. Eq. Africa + SE Asia/India. • Large soil emissions (8.9 vs 5.3 TgN/yr). Max during summer in NH and wet season in Tropics: • Role of N-fertilizers over croplands + rain-induced pulsing from semi-arid soils. Need to revisit Yienger & Levy? • Underestimate of soil contribution to background ozone?
