This paper investigates the use of soil moisture data from satellites and a hydrological model as inputs to a simplified CH4 emission model (MeSMOD) for estimating CH4 emissions from boreal and pan-Arctic regions between 2015 and 2021. MeSMOD is calibrated using FLUXNET—CH4 sites and the predictive...
