Terminology
Inverse Modelling
The inverse modelling problem consists of using the actual result of
some measurements to infer the values of the parameters that
characterize the system.

Data Assimilation
The ambitious and elusive goal of data assimilation is to
provide a dynamically consistent motion picture of the
atmosphere and oceans, in three space dimensions, with
known error bars.

Objective of atmospheric data assimilation
•
"is to produce a regular,
physically consistent four
dimensional representation
of the state of the
atmosphere
• from a heterogeneous array
of in situ and remote
instruments
• which sample imperfectly
and irregularly in space and
time.
Data assimilation
• extracts the signal from noisy
observations (filtering)
•
interpolates in space and
time (interpolation) and
•
reconstructs state variables
that are not sampled by the
observation network
(completion).“ (Daley, 1997)

Characteristics in data assimilation,
in comparison to remote sensing retrievals
• high dimensional problem: dim (x) > 105
• highly underdetermined system (few observations with respect to
model freedom: dim(x)>>dim(y) )
• nonlinear dynamics
• constraints by physical laws are insufficient

Advanced data assimilation is an application of the principles of Data
Analysis.
(As in satellite retrievals) we strive for estimating a latent,
not apparent parameter set x.
We dispose of
1. indirect information on the state and processes in terms of
manifest, though insufficient or inappropriate data y, and
2. a deterministic model M connecting x and y, in some way.
Bayes’ rule gives access to the probability of state x, given y and M

Optimality criteria: Which property can be attributed to our analysis
result?
(Need for quantification)
• maximum likelyhood:
 maximum of probability density function
• minimal variance: l2 norm
 parameters optimal, for which analysis error spread is minimal
(for Gaussian/normal and log-normal error distributions), Best
Linear Unbiased Estimate (BLUE)
• minimax norm (discrete cases)
• maximum entropy

(Hanea, Heemink, Velders, 2004)
Appoximate covariance matrices
Pb,a (n x n) by a product of suitably low
ranked matrix Sb,a (n x p), and p << n .
Same procedure for the system noise
matrix Q with T (n x r).
The forecast step remains unchanged.
The forecast error covariance matrix rests
on 2 x p model integrations only!
The enlargement of p by r enforces
periodic reductions of columns (with
lowest ranked eigenvalues)

Objectives of air quality inverse modelling
• bring together air quality measurements and CTMs to provide optimal
spatio-temporal reconstructions of air quality parameters,
• estimate variability, sources, sinks, and trends
• provide better air quality predictions
• reconstruct past changes,
• act as a decision support system for protection measures (which
emissions are most critical?)

Special challenges of tropospheric chemistry inverse
modelling
The following problems prevail:
1.
strong influence of manifold processes including emissions and
deposition
2.
spatially highly variable “chemical regimes”
3.
chemical state observability (= “analyseability”) hampered by
manifold hydrocarbon species
4.
to maintain consistency across heterogeneous data sources:
satellite data and in situ observations
This invokes the application space-time inverse modelling algorithms
preserving the BLUE property (Best Linear Unbiased Estimator)

Special challenge: which is the appropriate scale for air quality
modelling?
• intercontinental / long range transport of pollutants
• many processes are local: point and line source emissions
• surface patterns/tesselation impacts skill
• boundary layer and convection simulation at least of like importance as in

Aerosol observations
• In situ:
EEA Airbase: Database of groundstations of EU member
countries & states:
- 450 stations for PM10 (2003)
- No PM2.5. (4 stations in UK only)
 (national and federal observation networks, partly in near real

SYNAER data
See details in next presentation M. Schrödter-Homscheit
SYNAER (SYNergetic AErosol Retrieval) has been developed
at DLR-DFD [Holzer-Popp et al., 2002]
• SYNAER provides a first step from aerosol optical
properties to chemical properties
• Information breakdown in terms of:
 water soluble
 water insoluble
 sea salt (accumulation mode)
 sea salt (coarse mode)
 soot
 minerals transported

SYNAER scheme
• uses data from SCIAMACHY/AATSR (Envisat) & GOME2/AVHRR (METOP),
• calculates BLAOT (boundary layer aerosol optical thickness)
from radiometers
• calculate SCIAMACHY/GOME-2 spectra and select best fit
spectrum -> chosen mixture (assigning aerosol type
concentrations (40 reference mixtures))
• PMx calculation

Conclusions
• chemical weather inversions are high dimensional multiple
scale problems with transient constituents
• chemical inverse modelling rests on sparse and
heterogeneous observations, with variable error
characteristics (incl. error of representativity)
• initial value optimisation is insufficient, as at least emissions
are less known and more important for inversion
• the ability for inversion is therefore required to optimize
emission rates in the context of chemical conversions in a
high dimensional phase space
