SNV CTM2 Model and FTIR comparison
SNV C2H6 FTIR and Model comparison Model underestimates C2H6 observed columns by about 40-50% in winter/spring ; by about % in fall; esp. at high latitudes as Harestua Changing the C2H6 emissions in the model seems to correct this problem, similar all stations, original emissions to low

SNV Improvement of the Swedish landfill methane budget Development of a measurement tool for regulatory control of landfill emissions (CH 4 ) Model validation Verification of improvement measures taken at the different landfill sites FTIR measurements of methane emissions from Swedish landfills
SNV Analysis of landfill plume CH 4 by FTIR spectroscopy The amount of CH 4 oxidation by methanotrophic bacteria in the cover soil is determined by observing the isotopic ratio of 13 CH 4 / 12 CH 4 in the landfill gas both in the anaerobic zone and in the plume. Q X = Emission rate of methane respectively tracer gas, (kgh -1 ) C X = Concentration of CH 4 resp. tracer gas, expressed as mixing ratio (ppb) M X = Molecular weight
