Estimates of CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes over the city of Cape Town, South Africa, through Bayesian inverse modelling

We present a city-scale inversion over Cape Town, South Africa. Measurement sites for atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations were installed at Robben Island and Hangklip lighthouses, located downwind and upwind of the metropolis. Prior estimates of the fossil fuel fluxes were obtai...
