A possible approach to study of the surface fluxes is touse inverse modelling techniques together with chemical transport models. A regional-scale modellingsystem can bring new insights into the relations between surface fluxes and atmospheric CO2 concentrationswith more complex physics and much finer time scale than usual global models used for climatologicalstudies.A regional-scale modelling system is currently being developed for simulating transport of greenhouse gasesin Northern Alberta. The system will directly relate both ground- and satellite-based observations withregional surface fluxes, using both forward and inverse modelling. One of the goals of inverse modelling isto evaluate the feasibility of the system to estimate major anthropogenic point sources of CO2 associatedwith heavy industrial development in Northern Alberta.P-Sources.32 ID:4211 15:35Spatial distribution of emission factor and budget of carbonaceous aerosols from domestic bio fuelover Indo Gangetic plainTrailokya Saud 1 , D.P.

On global basis the major source ofcarbonaceous aerosols (organic (OC) and elemental carbon (EC)) is biomass burning. As a part ofdetermining emission factor of trace gases and aerosol from domestic fuels, bio fuel samples are collectedalong with information on socio-economic parameters at district level over Indo-Gangetic plain (IGP). Basedon this information, domestic bio fuel consumption patterns have been determined at district level over IGPof India. The study reveals that the dung cake is the major biomass used as domestic fuel for cookingpurpose followed by fuel wood and crop residue at the rural sector of India. Using these consumption patternand crop production data, refined consumption value of crop residue as bio fuel has been estimated. Todetermine the emission factor we have simulated the burning using the collected bio fuel samples. Theemission factor of EC and OC from dung cake, fuel wood and crop residue over Uttar Pradesh and Delhi arecomputed as [(0.093 ± 0.07, 4.77 ± 1.37g/kg), (0.132±0.132, 1.51±1.52 g/kg), (0.114±0.091, 2.32±1.69g/kg)] and [(~0.07, ~0.51 g/kg), (~0.07, ~ 1.07 g/kg), (~0.1, ~4.48 g/kg)] respectively. Similarly for Punjaband Haryana the emission factor of EC and OC from fuel wood and crop residue are computed as[(0.201±0.09, 0.39±0.11 g/kg), (0.201±0.02, 3±2.4 g/kg)] and [(0.18±0.04, 0.69±0.05 g/kg), (0.14±0.05,1.15±0.1 g/kg)]. The budget for EC and OC from dung cake, fuel wood and crop residue of Uttar Pradesh isdetermined as [(3.46, 177 Gg/Y), (2.19, 25.06 Gg/Y), (0.09, 1.74 Gg/Y)] and for Punjab and Haryana budgetof EC and OC from fuel wood and crop residue are determined as [(0.38, 0.74 Gg/Y), (0.15, 2.25 Gg/Y)] and[(0.31, 1.17 Gg/Y), (0.13, 1.10 Gg/Y)] respectively. Similarly other parts of Indo-Gangetic plain will bepresented.iCACGP-IGAC 2010 12 July, 2010
