CARBON FLUX FRAMEWORK UNDERLYING MANY ATMOSPHERIC CO 2 INVERSIONS FossilBiosphereLand use Change Ocean Units = Pg C/yr Atmospheric CO

TROPOSPHERIC CO OXIDATION IS A SOURCE OF ATMOSPHERIC CO 2 FossilBiosphere, Land use change, Agriculture, Biomass burning Ocean ATMOSPHERIC CO 2 ATMOSPHERIC CO CO, CH 4, NMHCs Pg C/yr

REDUCED CARBON GASES ARE ACCOUNTED FOR IN EMISSIONS INVENTORIES BUT EMITTED AS CO 2 Fossil fuel : CO 2 emissions based on carbon content of fuel and assuming complete oxidation of CO and volatile hydrocarbons. (Marland and Rotty, 1984; Andres et al. 1996) CASA neutral biosphere : Biospheric C efflux represents respiration (CO 2 ) and emissions of reduced C gases (biogenic hydrocarbons, CH 4,etc) (Randerson et al., 2002; Randerson et al. 1997) CASA Neutral Biosphere Fossil Fuel

ANALYSIS FOCUS: Evaluating the “ Chemical Pump ” Effect IMPLICATIONS FOR FLUX ESTIMATES FROM CO 2 INVERSIONS OF MODELING REDUCED C CONTRIBUTION TO CO 2 AT SURFACE RATHER THAN AT OXIDATION SITE IN TROPOSPHERE STEP 1 : Evaluate impact on modeled concentrations STEP 2 : Implications for atmospheric inversions and estimated fluxes Previous related analyses : Enting and Mansbridge [1991]; Baker [2001] CO 2 from reduced C gases VS. CO 2 source from CO oxidation Surface Source Tropospheric Source

EVALUATION OF THE CHEMICAL PUMP EFFECT Calculate ADJUSTMENT  z model to Model Concentrations 1)Flux estimates from atmospheric inversions are based on difference between modeled and observed CO 2 concentrations : z model – z obs 2) Adjust z model to account for redistribution of reduced gas C from surface inventories to oxidation location in troposphere 3)Adjustment  z model = z COox – z RedC ADD effect of CO oxidation source of CO 2 SUBTRACT effect of reduced C from surface inventories Total carbon source conserved between z COox and z RedC simulations

Randerson, N. Krakauer TRANSCOM Level 1 inversion MATCH model

SUMMARY The atmospheric chemical pump has important implications for modeled CO 2 concentrations and inversion flux estimates. A CO oxidation source of 1.1 Pg C/yr gives a reduction in the modeled annual mean N-S gradient of 0.2 ppm (equivalent to a reduction of 0.2 Pg C/yr in Northern Hemispheric land uptake in an annual mean inversion.) Regional changes are larger; up to 0.6 ppm in regions of high reduced C emissions. Seasonal variations and sensitivities to model assumptions will be explored in future work. We can provide the reduced C source distributions (3D and surface) to TRANSCOM modelers to calculate their own model-specific chemical pump adjustments.
