Short summary
We focused on CO2 and CH4 characteristics in urban atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Results showed that CO2 and CH4 in the ABL were consistently higher than those in the free atmosphere. The inversion jump values of CO2 and CH4 over Beijing were both larger than those over Nanjing. Based on CH4 : CO2, we found that inventory might have overlooked the energy transition occurring in cities, while also demonstrating that one-dimensional slab model is inadequate for urban greenhouse gas budgets.
