This paper investigates the use of soil moisture data from satellites and a hydrological model as inputs to a simplified CH 4 emission model (MeSMOD) for estimating CH 4 emissions from boreal and pan-Arctic regions between 2015 and 2021. MeSMOD is calibrated using FLUXNET—CH 4 sites and the predicti...
