Top-down CO2 and CH4 fluxes over Belgium and Western Europe in June 2022

This dataset contains hourly top-down emission estimates for CO2 and CH4 over Belgium and surrounding countries, for June 2022. These emissions are the result of an atmospheric inversion where mole fraction observations of 25 ICOS stations are assimilated within the CTDAS-WRF framework. More details on the observations, prior fluxes and inversion configuration is provided in the README file.

These simulations have been made in the context of the BELSPO BRAIN 2.0 project “VERBE” (Towards a greenhouse gas emission monitoring and VERification system for BElgium, https://verbe.aeronomie.be/, 2022-2026).
