q Global CO analysis using CAM-‐CHEM with DART-‐EAKF
Ø To produce 6-‐hourly analysis (both meteorology and CO)
Ø CO spaHo-‐temporal variability, emissions and trends analysis
q InvesHgate the state augmentaHon approach Ø To evaluate interacHon with meteorology (see poster of J. Barré) Ø To esHmate CO emissions Ø Co-‐emiPed species, i.e VOCs emissions, BB aerosols

ü Anthropogenic : MACCity (Granier et al. 2011) ü Biomass Burning / Fire emissions : Daily fire emissions from FINN (Wiedinmyer et al. 2011)
ü Biogenic : offline MEGAN V2.1 (Guenther et al. 2012) no interannual variability
ü CCMI NO2 and BC Aircrab emissions q CESM Simula'on starts in January 1998 § Assimila'on of meteorological observa'ons only

Ø Improve sensi'vity to to surface / LT with a low bias
q Thinning : Ø DayHme observaHon, between +/-‐ 65⁰, dfs > 0.5 Ø only when surface level exists, i.e there is 10 levels
q Super observa'on over the model grid cells (1.9x2.5⁰) Ø Average, ignore observa'on error correla'on Ø Error variance is reduce according to

Conclusions Ø MOPITT CO state is correctly assimilated within CAM-‐CHEM
Ø Es'ma'on of CO emissions fluxes shows reasonable correla'on and spa'o-‐temporal paserns, need to introduce beser temporal correla'on or a smoothers
Ø The ensemble spread reflects errors from meteorology and emissions, then
Ø Further work needs to be done from VOCs sources of CO, both from their concentra'ons and emissions
Ø Check changes in oxida've capacity
