Abstract
To improve the quantification of methane emissions from Arctic wetlands and lakes, an integrated modeling framework was developed. It includes a newly developed process-based lake biogeochemical model and a widely used 4-D VAR inversion algorithm implemented with the nested grid high-resolution GEOS-Chem Adjoint model.
