On the statistical optimality of co atmospheric inversions assimilating co column retrievals

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Atmos. Chem. Phys. and collaborators from the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement, CEA-CNRS-UVSQ, L'Orme des Merisiers, Bat, Gif-sur-Yvette, France have published the Article: On the statistical optimality of CO atmospheric inversions assimilating CO column retrievals, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors demonstrate that atmospheric inversions cannot be rigorously optimal when assimilating current XCO2 retrievals even with averaging kernels in particular because retrievals and inversions use different assumption about prior uncertainty. The model shows elevated values (Fig 1b), but much less than the retrievals (Fig . . .
