Integrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System

The Integrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System (ITMS) is a BMBF-funded project for improving and validating the estimates of greenhouse gas emissions in Germany. I am currently working on the task of greenhouse gas inversion. Given a forward model for the transport of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, observations of the greenhouse gas concentration, and an initial emission estimates, the aim is to improve the initial emission estimate using the information contained in the observations.
