Abstract. Using five long-running ground-based atmospheric observatories in Europe, we demonstrate the utility of long-term, stationary, ground-based measurements of atmospheric total columns for verifying annual methane emission inventories. Our results indicate that the methane emissions for the region in Europe between Orleans, Bremen, Bialystok, and Garmisch are overestimated by the state-of-the-art inventories Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) v4.2 FT2010 and TNO-MACC_III, possibly due to the disaggregation of emissions onto a grid. Uncertainties in the carbon monoxide inventories used to compute the methane emissions may contribute to the discrepancy between our inferred emissions and those from the inventories.

Over the past three centuries, the atmospheric methane burden has grown 2.5-fold, reaching levels unprecedented in at least 650 000 years. Agricultural expansion has played a large part in this anthropogenic signal, with enterically fermented methane emitted by farmed ruminant livestock accounting for about one quarter of all anthropogenic emissions. This paper summarises the range of measurements that give confidence in estimates of the emission per animal and per unit feed intake and in their extrapolation to national and global emission inventories, while noting also some of the inherent uncertainties. Global emissions are discussed in the context of the evolving global methane cycle.
