Forward model (GEOS-CHEM 2x2.5o) CO emissions CO observations Forward model (GEOS-CHEM 2x2.5o) Global inventories tested Global totals Tg/yr Logan (1998) Logan (1998) + Streets (ff/bf) FF 394 318 BF 159 168 BB 437 “Tagged” CO model (30 tracers) OH from full chemistry run CO sources include BB, BF, and FF, oxidation of VOCs
Streets (Asia) + Logan emissions TRACE-P GEOS-CHEM Streets (Asia) + Logan emissions Forward model analysis suggests inventories are too low
