Poor Man’s Inversion Modeling of Isoprene Emission: Uncertainty Related 
to Boundary Layer Development

We present the dependence of the inferred isoprene surface emission flux 
from atmospheric concentration on the diurnal variability of the 
convective boundary layer (CBL). A series of systematic numerical 
experiments carried out using the mixed-layer technique enabled us to 
study the sensitivity of isoprene fluxes to the entrainment process, the 
partition of surface fluxes, the horizontal advection of warm/cold air 
masses and subsidence. Our findings demonstrate the key role played by 
the evolution of boundary layer height in modulating the retrieved 
isoprene flux.
