Configuration of source areaswith WLEF tower in the centerof polar coordinates

Example of estimation of NEE averaged for August 2000 Bayesian inversion technique using influence function derived from CSU RAMS and Lagrangian particle model flux estimation for source areas in polar coordinates within 400 km from WLEF tower (better coverage by atmospheric transport) NEE decomposed into respiration and assimilation fluxes: R=R0, A=A0 f(short wave radiation, vegetation class) inversion calculations for increasing number of concentration data (time series from towers) NEE uncertainty presented in terms of standard deviation derived from posteriori covariance matrix inflow CO2 flux is assumed to be known from a large scale transport model in further work, concentration data from additional tower will be used to improve the inflow flux given by a large scale model

Conclusions from pseudo-data inversion:Conclusions from pseudo-data inversion:

Successful inversions for surface fluxes

as long as inflow flux is known Successful inversions for surface fluxes

as long as inflow flux is known

Difficulty to handle inflow flux(es) as

unknown parameter in inversions Difficulty to handle inflow flux(es) as

unknown parameter in inversions
