SatWetCH4 v.1 Juliette Bernard et al., 2024 satwetch4/std#
Description#
Plugin for the SatWetCH4 wetland methane emission model (v1).
SatWetCH4 is a process-based model that estimates methane emissions from wetlands using satellite-derived environmental drivers (soil temperature, inundated fraction, labile carbon pool). It was developed at LSCE (Bernard et al., 2024) and is integrated into CIF as a forward model for CH₄ flux inversion studies that jointly optimise wetland emission parameters.
Unlike atmospheric transport models, SatWetCH4 does not transport tracers; it computes the surface flux field that is then passed to an atmospheric model (or a Lagrangian footprint model) for the observation operator.

YAML arguments#
The following arguments are used to configure the plugin. pyCIF will return an exception at the initialization if mandatory arguments are not specified, or if any argument does not fit accepted values or type:
Optional arguments#
- autoflush : bool, optional, default False
Cleans big temporary files when the simulation is done. Triggers the function
flushrunof the model if available
- timestep : str, optional, default “1MS”
length of timesteps of the model
- periods : str, optional, default “1YS”
Length of subsimulations
