1 Continuous in-situ measurements of CO and CO 2 concentrations and CO 2 isotope ratios (δ 13 C, δ 18 O) in Nagoya city: towards CO and CO 2 simultaneous measu rements by GOSAT-2 A. Yuba 1), T. Nakayama 2), Y. Matsumi 2), K. Takahashi 3), Y. Imasu 4) 1) Asia center for air pollution research 2) Nagoya University 3) Kyoto University 4) University of Tokyo 1

2 The GOSAT-2 satellite is planned to observe CO and CO 2 column concentrations simultaneously from the space. The simultaneous measurements of CO and CO 2 column concentrations may enable to identify the contributions of the anthropogenic and biogenic processes. 2

3 In this presentation: Results of the ground-based in-situ measurements of CO and CO 2 concentrations in the summer and winter in the urban area of Nagoya city. Estimation of the sources of CO 2 and CO from the simultaneous observation with the aids of the measurements of CO 2 stable isotope ratios (δ 13 C, δ 18 O). Research purposes: What can be derived from the simultaneous observation of CO and CO 2. How in-situ observations can support the analyses of the satellite data. 3

The contribution of anthropogenic combustion, and biogenic activity. In the winter, the air pollution was stayed inside the inversion layer. 6

No difference between night and day. Summer CO/CO 2 is ranged from 2 to 7. CO/CO 2 in the nighttime are lower than those in the daytime. 7

11 Keeling plot analysis The hypothesis for keeling plot analysis CO 2 background level has been constant CO 2 concentration consists of binary (source + background) CO 2 / ppm [C] = [C s ] + [C b ] Measured [C], δ Source [C s ], δ s Background [C b ], δ b δ [C] = δ s [C s ] + δ b [C b ] δ = (δ b - δ s )[C b ] /[C] + δ s δ δ s Intercept 1/[C] vs. δ 1/[C] / ppmv -1 Intercept of the plot shows δ 13 C of CO 2 source 11

14 Keeling plot analysis: δ 13 C and CO/ CO 2 Intercept of Keeling plot δ 13 C / Power plant or biogenic Car exhaust Residential energy use CO/ CO 2 / ppbv/ppmv Summer Winter Biogenic respiration Gasoline combustion Natural gas combustion CO 2 in the summer is mainly related with biogenic activity and emission from car. In the winter, the emission from residential energy use (heating etc.) has the large contribution to CO 2 concentration variation. 14

15 Keeling plot analysis: δ 18 O and CO/ CO 2 Power plant or biogenic Car exhaust Residential energy use Intercept of Keeling plot δ 18 O / Summer Winter CO/ CO 2 / ppbv/ppmv Biogenic respiration Fuel combustion According to Keeling plot analysis of δ 18 O, CO 2 concentrations in the winter were partly influenced by CO 2 emission from the biogenic respiration. 15

16 conclusion We report that the ground based measurement of CO, CO 2 concentration and CO 2 isotopic ratios (δ 13 C and δ 18 O) at Nagoya, in 2011 winter and 2012 summer. The variation of CO and CO 2 concentration was different in the summer and winter. CO and CO 2 concentrations were varied synchronously. CO 2 concentration in the summer shows the clear diurnal variation. The contributions of emission from combustion and biogenic process were shown from the analysis of CO/ CO 2 and Keeling plot analysis. 16
