Forward model (GEOS-CHEM 2x2.5o) CO emissions CO observations Global inventories tested • “Tagged” CO model (30 tracers) • OH from full chemistry run • CO sources include BB, BF, and FF, oxidation of VOCs
Logan emissions TRACE-P GEOS-CHEM Streets (Asia) + Logan emissions Forward model analysis suggests inventories are too low
Inverse modeling overview Forward model (GEOS-CHEM) P3B, DC8 observations y Emissions x Inverse model Linear inverse model Xs = Xb + SbK (KTSbK + SY)-1(Y – KXb)
Source regions resolved in inverse analysis S and N Korea Depending on region: bb, bf, ff
Assume we have good knowledge of background CO during TRACE-P: solve for Asian sources only 1583 1590 not well constrained * IN PROGRESS *
