The ME2 project aims to develop an advanced GHG information system - consisting of a comprehensive set of monitoring systems, combined with a complementary suite of 3D models – that is able to quantify the magnitude, trends and associated uncertainties of the biogenic and antropogenic greenhouse gas budgets high spatial an temporal resolutions. While doing so it will develop a protocol to provide an independent reference estimate for the verification of national emissions reported by the parties in the UNFCCC and Kyoto framework. The project is funded through the Climate changesSpatial Planning programme (website: www.klimaatvoorruimte.nl and www.climatechangesspatialplanning.nl).

ESS-CC will contribute to this project will develop airborne sampling strategies covering major Dutch landscapes and full seasonal cycles, as well as novel ways to scale these data and use them to calibrate the 2D Land surface schemes. This as a-priori flux fields that serve as input to the inversion models based (developed by colleagues from Free University Amsterdam). Therefore, we are currently operationalising the PH-WUR a small aircraft able to measure fluxes of CO2 water vapour and energy. Also footprint based disaggregation methods of these fluxes are under development. We are also implementing the RAMS-SWAP-C coupled mesoscale model for the Netherlands.
