The Arctic is a major source of atmospheric methane and other greenhouse gases, with both natural and anthropogenic emissions. Arctic greenhouse gas sources have the potential to be important globally, changing radiative forcing and atmospheric oxidizing capacity. Moreover, both palaeorecords and present-day studies suggest some sources, such as wetlands and methane hydrates, may show strong positive feedbacks [Nisbet and Chappellaz, 2009], so that the warming feeds the warming. It is urgent that Arctic greenhouse gas sources should be quantified, by strength, geographic location, character (e.g. wetland, gasfield, clathrate), and by temporal variation (summer, winter, day, night), and their vulnerability to change assessed. We will address these issues by an integrated program of measurement and modelling. Analysis of gas mixing ratios (concentrations), isotopic character, and source fluxes, will be made both from the ground and aircraft. Both past and new measurements will be modelled using a suite of techniques. Fluxes will be implemented into the JULES land surface model. Atmospheric modelling, including trajectory and inverse modelling will improve understanding on the local/regional scale, placing the role of Arctic emissions in large scale global atmospheric change.

北极是大气甲烷和其他温室气体的主要来源，具有天然和人为排放。北极温室气源有可能在全球重要，改变辐射强迫和大气氧化能力。此外，古生物和当今研究都表明，湿地和甲烷水合物等一些来源可能会显示出强烈的积极反馈[Nisbet and Chappellaz，2009]，以便变暖为变暖提供。迫切需要通过强度，地理位置，特征（例如湿地，加斯菲尔德，覆盖层）和时间变化（夏季，冬季，白天，夜晚）来量化北极温室气源，并评估了变化的脆弱性。我们将通过一个集成的测量和建模程序来解决这些问题。对气体混合比（浓度），同位素特性和源通量的分析将是从地面和飞机中进行的。过去和新测量都将使用一套技术进行建模。通量将被实施到Jules陆地表面模型中。大气建模（包括轨迹和反向建模）将提高对局部/区域尺度的理解，从而将北极排放的作用在大型全球大气变化中。
