KORUS-AQ posterior anthropogenic emissions

Top-down emissions of CO from anthropogenic sources resulting from the assimilation of multispectral CO retrieval profiles (V8J) from the Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT). The assimilation is performed using an ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF) within the global Community Atmosphere Model with Chemistry (CAM-Chem) and the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART). The initial conditions of CO and some non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), as well as CO emission inventories from anthropogenic and biomass burning sources, are optimized during the analysis step.
