Re: [GlobMapFuelCO2-TechReport] Comments by Felix Vogel on the Google Docs version
by S.W.L.Palstra 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Dear all, Finally I have read the workshop-paper (sorry for the delay) and I have the following comments/suggestions: General comments I would like to thank Martin for the efforts he has put in making a paper out of the abstracts we all sent in and which gave an overview of what we have presented at the workshop in Braunschweig. After reading this first draft, I must, however, admit that I doubt whether we can really present something attractive and new (my motivation in general to read a new paper). I miss an overall story in the current paper version. A straigth forward story connecting all those different aspects of mapping carbon fuel emissions that have been presented and discussed during the workshop. As also stated in the paper: the now discussed different aspects will not give a complete overview of the main subject. Also, the aspects discussed in the paper are just fractions of the research behind it. So if we are not complete (in aspects and details): what is the interest of what we want to show and tell? And how do we want to show it? The current text is not easy to follow. Both general descriptions and details are shown, but it seems that not all details are of interest, when telling a more general story. I think the current paper should be shortened a lot. And every aspect that is discussed during the workshop should be treated in the same way, that is: focused on answering the same questions: 1) what methods are used to determine and/or map carbon fuel emissions, 2) what are the method uncertainties. Without giving too much details. By that I can get a quick overview of every aspect how it is related to mapping of carbon fuel emissions and its current uncertainties. Now there is too much text and I cannot follow the story. The current conclusions section should be much shorter too. I realize that it is much easier to comment on a paper, than to write one! More detailed comments: Although the title suggest that the paper is about 'carbon fuel emissions', it is not clear what is exactly ment with 'carbon fuel emissions'. Are these CO2 emissions alone? As CO is also mentioned in this paper. Is it mainly about fossil fuel emissions? Or bio(genic) fuel carbon as well? That is not systematically distinguished in the current text. And why are other green house gases than CO2 and CO also mentioned in this paper about carbon fuel emissions? (because these are part of methods to verify CO2 emissions?, but that is not nicely introduced/explained in the text). Perhaps it would be an idea to show in the introduction a scheme in which the different methods to determine fossil and biocarbon fuel emissions (in time and/or space) and the different data-sets/measurements are mentioned, that will be discussed in the paper. The section "Assessment and improvement of emissions data products by in-situ measurements" contains parts of both Felix and my presentations/abstracts. It partly overlaps. In my point of view this section should contain a general introduction about using 14C, CO, radon and other GHG's measurements to quantify fossil fuel CO2 emissions and its uncertainties, with some references to relevant papers. The part with the Dutch case is too much in detail and can be skipped (the detailed part). Felix and Martin, I think it would be very good to re-arrange and shorten this current section. Do you agree with that? Shall I make a new version of this section? Or do you (or others) already have specific ideas about it?

In review: Andres et al. "A synthesis of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel combustion"
by Martin Köchy 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Dear all, Andres et al. have submitted a similar paper as ours to Biogeochemical Discussions. Please keep this in mind when you work on our manuscript. Try to reduce overlap. Andres, R. J., Boden, T. A., Bréon, F.-M., Ciais, P., Davis, S., Erickson, D., Gregg, J. S., Jacobson, A., Marland, G., Miller, J., Oda, T., Olivier, J. G. J., Raupach, M. R., Rayner, P., and Treanton, K.: A synthesis of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel combustion, Biogeosciences Discuss., 9, 1299-1376, doi:10.5194/bgd-9-1299-2012, 2012. http://www.biogeosciences-discuss.net/9/1299/2012/bgd-9-1299-2012.html This synthesis discusses the emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil-fuel combustion and cement production. While much is known about these emissions, there is still much that is unknown about the details surrounding these emissions. This synthesis explores our knowledge of these emissions in terms of why there is concern about them; how they are calculated; the major global efforts on inventorying them; their global, regional, and national totals at different spatial and temporal scales; how they are distributed on global grids (i.e. maps); how they are transported in models; and the uncertainties associated with these different aspects of the emissions. The magnitude of emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels has been almost continuously increasing with time since fossil fuels were first used by humans. Despite events in some nations specifically designed to reduce emissions, or which have had emissions reduction as a byproduct of other events, global total emissions continue their general increase with time. Global total fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions are known to within 10% uncertainty (95% confidence interval). Uncertainty on individual national total fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions range from a few percent to more than 50%. The information discussed in this manuscript synthesizes global, regional and national fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions, their distributions, their transport, and the associated uncertainties.

Workshop paper Global CO2 Emissions
by Martin Köchy 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Greetings. It's been a long time since the last version of our paper. I am sorry (and responsible) for the delay. Now I have a compiled a new version that I would like to ask you to review. I have tried to forge the chapters into one piece. So some of your paragraphs and sentences are now mingling with those of other co-authors. Please check if the content still makes sense. Some sections should be bolstered by references. Considering the length of the manuscript, you should rather delete than add when you work on the manuscript. I have made the document available on google docs so we can see each other's comments and changes. I am also attaching a Word file for those who prefer working offline. If you could work on the manuscript within the next four weeks that would be great.
