!  Top-­‐down  emission  es-mates  based  on  in  situ  long-­‐term,  high-­‐frequency  observa-ons  combined  with  inverse  modelling  have  proved  to  be  a  powerful  and  important  tool  for  the  quan-fica-on  of  emissions  and  the  verifica-on  of  bo=om-­‐up  inventories  for  many  radia-vely  ac-ve  trace  gases;  

 !  The  es-mates  provided  by  this  analysis  are  relevant  for  constraining  the  

atmospheric  budget  of  these  gases  on  a  regional  scale,  also  improving  the  accuracy  of  their  emissions  quan-fica-on  on  a  global  scale;  

 !  The  comparison  of  our  es-mates  with  bo=om-­‐up  inventories  revealed  

not  negligible  discrepancies,  thus  showing  the  effec-veness  of  this  approach  as  a  verifica-on  tool  for  declared  emissions.

•  SRR  (Source  Receptor  Rela-onship)  obtained  from  FLEXPART  20  d  backward  calcula-ons  averaged  over  two  years  (2008-­‐2009)  

•  ECMWF  nested  data  0.25°  x  0.25°  resolu-on  

•  40.000  par-cles  released  every  3  h  •  The  FLEXPART  output  can  be  ingested  directly  by  the  inversion  algorithm  based  on  the  analy-cal  inversion  method  by  Stohl  et  al.  (2009)  

• The  FLEXPART  output  is  ingested  by  the  inversion  algorithm  • An  a  posteriori  emission  distribu-on  leading  to  the  best  fit  between  the  measurements  and  the  model  results  is  found  

•  Mul-plying  the  SRR  with  an  emission  flux  taken  by  an  appropriate  a  priori  emission  field  gives  the  simulated  mixing  ra-o  at  the  receptors  to  be  compared  with  the  measurements  

 •  For  es-ma-ng  HFC-­‐152  a  emissions,  we  used  as  a  priori  EDGAR  v42_HCFC-­‐152a_2008_IPCC_2_3.txt  spa-al  resolu-on  0.1  x  0.1°lat  long
