Comparison of first model runs with surface methane observations

This study compares monthly mean modelled methane distributions for 2004 from TM5, LMDZ, and OsloCTM2 models with surface methane observations. Surface CH4 levels in January, April, July, & October are compared. Additionally, surface OH levels in January & July are analyzed. The planned top plot shows surface CH4 loss orders of magnitude difference and errors in conversion to molec/cm^3.s, prompting further investigation.
