Dataset from the inversion of methane emissions in France (ESPiGRAD project) I. Pison, A. Berchet, and M. Saunois https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1195930
Short summary
Methane emissions on the national scale in France in 2012 are inferred by assimilating continuous atmospheric mixing ratio measurements from nine stations of the European network ICOS. Two complementary inversion set-ups are computed and analysed: (i) a regional run correcting for the spatial distribution of fluxes in France and (ii) a sectorial run correcting fluxes for activity sectors on the national scale. The results are compared with existing inventories and other regional inversions.
