New results from inverse modeling of CO sources using MOPITT data.

The MOPITT (Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere) instrument on board the NASA Terra satellite has beet taking measurements of tropospheric carbon monoxide since March of 2000. MOPITT measurements provide a unique opportunity to better understand surface sources and sinks of carbon monoxide. Such task, however, is made difficult due to chemical interactions of carbon monoxide with OH and other atmospheric chemicals. These interactions make the relationship between local concentrations of CO and its surface emissions non-linear. We present new results of using inverse modeling framework for quantitative estimation of surface sources of carbon monoxide.
