Results for Anthropogenic Carbon InversionsResults for Anthropogenic Carbon Inversions
First, the diagnostics--can we trust the inversions?
1. Simulations with synthetic data show that this inversion is very stable. Retrieved fluxes differ by O(10-3) PgCyr-1reg-1 from known “true” values. This is as expected from the small condition number of the A matrices, and is a manifestation of the uncorrelated footprints.
2. 2 looks pretty good. E.g., 53174 with 60246 DOFs (ratio 0.88)
3. Analysis of residuals is ongoing. Outliers are frightening.

Pycnocline depth D sets the NADW formation rate. Our models are all configured to have about the same pycnocline depth.
Return flow is a via diffuse equatorial upwelling, and thus a condition is set upon the magnitude of vertical diffusivity Kv.

Return flow is a balance of upwelling both at the equator and in the Southern Ocean. This balance is set by along-isopycnal diffusivity Ai and vertical diffusivity Kv.
Recall that pycnocline depth--and thus NADW formation rate--isheld (nearly) constant
