摘要

Atmospheric inverse modelling has the potential to provide observation-based estimates of greenhouse gas emissions at the country scale, thereby allowing for an independent validation of national emission inventories. Here, we present a?regional-scale inverse modelling study to quantify the emissions of methane (CHsub4/sub) from Switzerland, making use of the newly established CarboCount-CH measurement network and a?high-resolution Lagrangian transport model. In our reference inversion, prior emissions were taken from the "bottom-up" Swiss Greenhouse Gas Inventory (SGHGI) as published by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment in 2014 for the year 2012. Overall we estimate national CHsub4/sub emissions to be 196 ± 18 Gg yrsup?1/sup for the year 2013 (1iσ/i uncertainty). This result is in close agreement with the recently revised SGHGI estimate of 206 ± 33 Gg yrsup?1/sup as reported in 2015 for the year 2012. Results from sensitivity inversions using alternative prior emissions, uncertainty covariance settings, large-scale background mole fractions, two different inverse algorithms (Bayesian and extended Kalman filter), and two different transport models confirm the robustness and independent character of our estimate. According to the latest SGHGI estimate the main CHsub4/sub source categories in Switzerland are agriculture (78 %), waste handling (15 %) and natural gas distribution and combustion (6 %). The spatial distribution and seasonal variability of our posterior emissions suggest an overestimation of agricultural CHsub4/sub emissions by 10 to 20 % in the most recent SGHGI, which is likely due to an overestimation of emissions from manure handling. Urban areas do not appear as emission hotspots in our posterior results, suggesting that leakages from natural gas distribution are only a?minor source of CHsub4/sub in Switzerland. This is consistent with rather low emissions of 8.4 Gg yrsup?1/sup reported by the SGHGI but inconsistent with the much higher value of 32 Gg yrsup?1/sup implied by the EDGARv4.2 inventory for this sector. Increased CHsub4/sub emissions (up to 30 % compared to the prior) were deduced for the north-eastern parts of Switzerland. This feature was common to most sensitivity inversions, which is a strong indicator that it is a real feature and not an artefact of the transport model and the inversion system. However, it was not possible to assign an unambiguous source process to the region. The observations of the CarboCount-CH network provided invaluable and independent information for the validation of the national bottom-up inventory. Similar systems need to be sustained to provide independent monitoring of future climate agreements.
