Cold-season emissions of methane in the Arctic

Methane flux measured at five flux tower sites on the North Slope of Alaska (from Zona et al, 2015)

A new CARVE data set shows the importance of cold-season emissions in the Arctic methane budget.

Total pyrogenic carbon consumption estimated from the AKFED between 2001 and 2012 (from Fig. 5 in Veraverbeke et al. 2015).

AKFED provides estimates of annual carbon emissions (kg carbon per square meter) from boreal fires in Alaska between 2001 and 2013.
