To understand the spatio-temporal variations of the atmospheric greenhouse gases in the Arctic region, we have conducted systematic observations and numerical model simulations. Long-term observations for CO2, CH4and related constituents at Ny-Ålesund helped in separating the oceanic and terrestrial uptake rates of CO2and revealed the importance of biogenic CH4emissions to atmospheric CH4variations. Shipboard observations of atmospheric CH4in the Arctic Ocean indicated several peaks associated with long-range transports of the continental source signals. An underestimation of climatological O2flux is demonstrated by the shipboard O2/N2observations over the North Pacific and Arctic Sea. Clear seasonal cycles and long-term trends of the greenhouse gases were observed in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere over the Eurasian continent at 8.5–12.5 km in altitude. Forward and inverse modeling studies and direct observations of CH4emission from West Siberian wetlands were conducted to evaluate the CH4fluxes estimated by previous bottom-up studies. To be consistent with the atmospheric CH4observations, the prescribed CH4emission needs downward and upward revisions at Hudson Bay Lowland and West Siberia, respectively. The terrestrial ecosystem model study showed increasing trends in the CH4emission in inland North America, Alaska and northern part of West Siberian Lowland.
