Short summary

This paper demonstrates the benefits of using global models with high horizontal resolution to represent atmospheric CO₂ patterns associated with evolving weather. The modelling of CO₂ weather is crucial to interpret the variability from ground-based and satellite CO₂ observations, which can then be used to infer CO₂ fluxes in atmospheric inversions. The benefits of high resolution come from an improved representation of the topography, winds, tracer transport and CO₂ flux distribution.
