Fig. 3: Climatological (2010–2018) monthly mean CH4 fluxes estimated using vertical profiles.

CH4 flux monthly means for total (grey bars), non-fire (total less fire emissions; dark blue bars), wetlands (non-fire less anthropogenic and termite emissions, plus the CH4 uptake from upland soils; light blue bars) and fire (brown bars), air temperature (green lines), equivalent water thickness (EWT; blue lines) and burned area (black lines) for all regions. Error bars represent the standard deviation of monthly means over the nine years. Note the expanded flux axis for SAN.
