B51P-0798: The Evidence for a Feedback between Tropical Wetland Emissions of Methane and Changing Climate
Author(s): Lori Bruhwiler, NOAA Boulder (First Author, Presenting Author) Youmi Oh, NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory
We evaluate the evidence for a connection between climate change and increasing wetland emissions of methane using a variety of satellite data sets, a global precipitation analysis and estimates of emissions from an atmospheric inversion. We find evidence for increasing wetland emissions in the tropics associated with changing climate.
