Eldho ELIAS

Role

I am a Research Engineer in the SATINV group, where I work with the CIF-CHIMERE inversion system to quantify regional atmospheric emissions of CH₄ and CO₂, using satellite observations and ground-based mixing ratio measurements.

Research Interests

Atmospheric GHG Inversion

• I use the Community Inversion Framework (CIF) coupled with the regional chemistry and transport model CHIMERE to estimate the emissions of CH₄ and CO₂ in the atmosphere.
• Mixing-ratio measurements from TROPOMI satellite and ground-based stations are used to drive the inversion.
• Current domains of interest are India and South East Asia, Europe, and South America
