9 WLEF tower – July 1997 influence function for passive tracer

10 influence functions for inflow fluxes: 1D PBL 30m sample1100m sample

11 NEE constrains used in inversion calculations: NEE=R+A R=R 0 A=A 0 c veg RAD/(RAD+200) R 0,A 0 – unknown parameters to be estimated RAD, c veg – from RAMS

12 CWCW 1000 km x z D q samples DDD q0q0

13 Two-Tower Inversions R is very well estimated A isn’t bad NEE very hard to estimate with unknown inflow Best estimates when towers are spaced optimally w.r.t. travel time (daytime)

14 Climatology of influence functions for August 2000 influence functions derived from RAMS/LPD model simulations passive tracer different configurations of concentration samples - time series from - a single level of WLEF tower - all levels of WLEF tower - WLEF tower + six 76m towers

15 Regional inversions reduction of uncertainty in flux estimation pseudo-data generation and ensemble inversion

16 Configuration of source areas with WLEF tower in the center of 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=R 0, A=A 0 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 CO 2 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
