  • 1. Quick Look: Uncertainty bottom-up/top-down

FF Emissions―CO2:

  • Great source strength; uncertainties are believed to be small
  • Generally considered perfectly known in inversions
  • Under development: 14C (ideal), “14C plus CO”
  • Outlook: Rigorous bottom-up/top-down accounting (verification)
  • n a multi-country scale (a matter of years)! Any politically driven

(mis-) accounting reported bottom-up can/will be instantaneously corrected!

Net Land and Ocean Uptake―CO2:

  • Small sink strengths, great(er) uncertainties
  • Possible: To partition land and ocean uptake
  • Challenge: Matching bottom-up/top-down land accounts at

continental scales and smaller

  • Not possible: To discriminate “Kyoto trees” and “non-Kyoto trees”

What exactly can scientists say so far about using uncertainty estimates at the national level for compliance purposes using our relative uncertainty knowledge as of today? … a summary on emissions / emission change “detection” techniques since the 1st Uncertainty Workshop …

  • 5. Conclusions
  • Foreseeable: Bu/td verification of FF CO2, resolving continental scales

and smaller, will be in place in the near future. Accounting under the KP will have to cope with this challenge. Strategy: Focus on verifiable emissions (→ separate protocol for the biosphere).

  • SD techniques are available to check the quality of compliance (bu or

bu/td context). Accounting under the KP will have to cope with this

  • challenge. Strategy: Establish rules for meeting compliance under

uncertainty.

  • The techniques exhibit ‘peculiarities’ that are related to the arbitrary

way the KP is designed, not to science! Strategies: 1) Introduce uniform reduction under the KP; or 2) set up straightforward rules for introducing differentiated targets (e.g., contraction and convergence).
