Abstract:
|
The general Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Flux Inversion problem will be explained as well as several current methodologies for addressing it. We will examine the basic assumptions underlying the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), variational (4DVar), and batch synthesis methods while discussing pros/cons of each method as it applies to trace gas inversion problems. An emphasis will be placed on potential areas of improvement and collaboration relevant to both the mathematical and statistical communities. We will also highlight recent results from a large NASA sponsored inter-comparison project utilizing both surface and satellite measurements while illustrating current and upcoming challenges for the community.
