What can tracer observations in the continental boundary layer tell us about surface-atmosphere fluxes?

We analyze the potential for inferring spatially resolved surface fluxes from atmospheric tracer observations within the mixed layer, such as from monitoring towers, using a receptor oriented transport model (Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport model - STILT) coupled to a simple biosphere...
