Seasonal variability of stratospheric methane: implications for constraining tropospheric methane budgets using total column observations

Global and regional methane budgets are markedly uncertain. Conventionally, estimates of methane sources are derived by bridging emissions inventories with atmospheric observations employing chemical transport models. The accuracy of this approach requires correctly simulating advection and chem...
