Permafrost carbon-climate feedbacks accelerate global warming (2011, background): “This switch on of deep permafrost methanogenesis leads to an additional methane source of up to 14 TgCH4∕y, 40% of the current total high-latitude CH4 natural source (gas hydrates nonmodeled) although with large uncertainties.”
Non-CO2 greenhouse gases and climate change (2011, background): “), or nearly two-thirds of present total emissions, assuming a constant lifetim”
Methane emissions from wetlands: biogeochemical, microbial, and modeling perspectives from local to global scales (2013, background): “However, wetlands explained 70% of the substantial interannual variations in atmospheric CH4 concentrations during this period, with tropical wetlands being particularly significant in this regard (Bousquet et al., 2006).”
Agricultural opportunities to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. (2007, background): “After an apparent reduction of CH4 flux during the 1990s, anthropogenic emission of CH4 has increased again (Bousquet et al., 2006).”
Renewed growth of atmospheric methane (2008, methodology): “…mean hydroxyl radical concentration did not change, a substantial increase in emissions was required simultaneously in both hemispheres between 2006 and 2007; 2) if a small drop in the hydroxyl radical concentration occurred, consistent with AGAGE methyl chloroform measurements, the emission…”
CO2 surface fluxes at grid point scale estimated from a global 21 year reanalysis of atmospheric measurements (2010, background): “[29] The inversion of carbon fluxes has a recent but high‐ profile history [e.g., Bousquet et al., 2000; Gurney et al., 2002; Le Quere et al., 2007].”
Global wetland contribution to 2000–2012 atmospheric methane growth rate dynamics (2017, background): “…al 2012), compared to longer-lived gases such as CO 2 for which emissions accumulate in the atmosphere on centennial to millennial timescales (Ciais et al 2013), and (2) the sources and sinks are diverse and can change rapidly over short time periods (Dlugokencky et al 1999, Bousquet et al 2006).”
Atmospheric CH4 in the first decade of the 21st century: Inverse modeling analysis using SCIAMACHY satellite retrievals and NOAA surface measurements (2013, background): “[39] The finding of increased wetland emissions in 2007 is qualitatively consistent with the inverse modeling study of Bousquet et al. [2011] (covering 2006–2008). However, they derived a much larger increase of wetland emissions between 2006 and 2007 (by 33 TgCH4/yr from their inversion INV1 [Bousq”
The global methane cycle: recent advances in understanding the microbial processes involved. (2009, background): “decreased since the early 1990s and with a value of about 4 ppb year-1 since 1999 (Bousquet et al., 2006).”
Methane observations from the Greenhouse Gases Observing SATellite: Comparison to ground‐based TCCON data and model calculations (2011, background): “Methane observations from the Greenhouse Gases Observing SATellite: Comparison to ground‐based TCCON data and model calculations Robert Parker,1 Hartmut Boesch,1 Austin Cogan,1 Annemarie Fraser,2 Liang Feng,2 Paul I.
