Abstract

he global CO2 Monitoring Verification System (CO2MVS) of the Copernicus CO2 Service will use the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) at ECMWF to estimate global anthropogenic emissions of CO2 and CH4. This requires an up-to-date inventory that realistically reproduces the CO2 anthropogenic emissions, especially in urban areas, where the local contribution from anthropogenic emissions is significant.
