Short summary

The paper presents the first results from the EUROCOM project, a regional atmospheric inversion intercomparison exercise involving six European research groups. It aims to produce an estimate of the net carbon flux between the European terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere for the period 2006–2015, based on constraints provided by observed CO₂ concentrations and using inverse modelling techniques. The use of six different models enables us to investigate the robustness of the results.
