Extended Data Fig. 7: Simulated and observed CFC-11 mole fractions for the four inverse frameworks.

From: A decline in emissions of CFC-11 and related chemicals from eastern China

Extended Data Fig. 7

Left, a comparison of the simulated CFC-11 mole fractions from the four different inversion analyses and those that were measured at Gosan and Hateruma. Right, residuals between the simulated and observed mole fractions (data minus model). Shading denotes the 1-sigma model–data mismatch uncertainties assumed in the inversions. Simulated mole fractions are derived from a posteriori emissions. For the NAME-InTEM, FLEXPART-EMPA, NAME-HB and FLEXPART-MIT inversions, 6-hourly, 3-hourly, 24-hourly and 24-hourly averaging, respectively, was applied to the model and data, which represents the temporal resolution at which the model simulates the observed data using derived annual emissions.
