Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon dioxide sources from Alaska driven by increasing early winter respiration from Arctic tundra.
Roisin Commane,Jakob Lindaas,J. S. Benmergui,K. A. Luus,Rachel Y.-W. Chang,Bruce C. Daube,Eugénie S. Euskirchen,J. Henderson,Anna Karion,John B. Miller,Scot M. Miller,Nicholas C. Parazoo,Nicholas C. Parazoo,James T. Randerson,Colm Sweeney,Colm Sweeney,Pieter P. Tans,Kirk Thoning,Sander Veraverbeke,Sander Veraverbeke,Charles E. Miller,Steven C. Wofsy +21 more
TL;DR: It is found that tundra ecosystems were a net source of CO2 to the atmosphere annually, with especially high rates of respiration during early winter (October through December), providing evidence that the decadal-scale increase in the amplitude of the CO2 seasonal cycle may be linked with increasing biogenic emissions in the Arctic, following the growing season.
Journal ArticleDOI
A large increase in U.S. methane emissions over the past decade inferred from satellite data and surface observations
Alexander J. Turner,Daniel J. Jacob,J. S. Benmergui,S. C. Wofsy,Joannes D. Maasakkers,André Butz,Otto Hasekamp,Sébastien C. Biraud +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used satellite retrievals and surface observations of atmospheric methane to suggest that U.S. anthropogenic methane emissions have increased by more than 30% over the 2002-2014 period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tundra photosynthesis captured by satellite‐observed solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence
K. A. Luus,Roisin Commane,Nicholas C. Parazoo,J. S. Benmergui,Eugénie S. Euskirchen,Christian Frankenberg,Joanna Joiner,Jakob Lindaas,Jakob Lindaas,Charles E. Miller,Walter C. Oechel,Walter C. Oechel,Donatella Zona,Donatella Zona,S. C. Wofsy,John C. Lin +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, satellite observations of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) provide a more direct proxy for photosynthesis, instead of EVI, for modeling the seasonal cycle of tundra photosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting high-emitting methane sources in oil/gas fields using satellite observations
Daniel H. Cusworth,Daniel J. Jacob,Jian-Xiong Sheng,J. S. Benmergui,Alexander J. Turner,Jeremy Brandman,Laurent White,Cynthia A. Randles +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors simulate atmospheric methane over a generic oil/gas field (20-500 production sites of different size categories in a 50×50 ˚km 2 domain) for a 1-week period using the WRF-STILT meteorological model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying fire plumes in the Arctic with tropospheric FTIR measurements and transport models
Camille Viatte,Camille Viatte,Kimberly Strong,James W. Hannigan,E. Nussbaumer,Louisa K. Emmons,Stephanie Conway,Clare Paton-Walsh,J Hartley,J. S. Benmergui,J. S. Benmergui,John C. Lin,John C. Lin +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate Arctic tropospheric composition using ground-based Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) solar absorption spectra, recorded at the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL, Eureka, Nunavut, Canada, 80°05' N, 86°42' W) and at Thule (Greenland, 76°53" N, −68°74' W).
