Comparison of some Transcom Continuous Experiment results for Hegyhatsal and Cabauw tall towers
A.T. Vermeulen*, G. Pieterse, L. Haszpra, and the Transcom Continuous experiment participants

Setup
Only tall towers in Europe operational in 2002-2003:
Cabauw – NL
Hegyhatsal – HU
In Transcom continuous:
Fluxes of fossil fuel are constant over the year (1x1 degree res)
Sib fluxes give the best results, are shown here
Influence of ocean fluxes is quite small for the continental stations
Output for more than 100 stations
About 10 transport models, will show CE-IP models + 1 American

Conclusions
Exercise demonstrates big progress in modelling: higher resolution models represent the tall tower sites quite well: models agree more than less!
CBW is predicted to be dominated by fossil fuel fluxes, still influence of biosphere is detectable
CBW is represented better in the models than HUN
Still significant differences between models despite equal input fluxes
More detailed study will be needed to look at: influence of vertical resolution+diffusion scheme other surface station data
Tall tower data + models form great combination for update on flux schemes
Potential for increased perfomance when fluxes are optimised (COMET CH4: R2=0.9; CO2: R2=0.6)
