This paper presents inverse modelling of the carbonyl sulfide budget.

Figure 5: Optimized emission pattern of the “missing COS source” for different settings of the spatio-temporal correlation lengths. (a) Spatial correlation of 1000 km and temporal correlation of 5.5 months. (b) Spatial correlation of 4000 km and temporal correlation of 12 months. Results are averages over 2008–2011.
