Estimating regional methane surface fluxes: the relative importance of surface and GOSAT mole fraction measurements

We use an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF), together with the GEOS-Chem chemistry transport model, to estimate regional monthly methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) fluxes for the period June 2009–December 2010 using proxy dry-air column-averaged mole fractions of methane (XCH<sub>4</sub>)...
