Why is there a difference between SGS and GSA uncertainty estimates for fugitive emissions?

21 December 2013 1 3K Report

Can anyone provide a technical explanation for why the uncertainties calculated by SGS (500 realisations) are often smaller than those determined by applying 95% confidence intervals to outputs (emissions) computed by the GSA?

Giovanni Chiodini

SGS takes into account the spatial relation among flux values, while GSA does not. The topic is treated with details in Cardellini et al. (2003)
