Examining CO <sub>2</sub> Model Observation Residuals Using ACT?America Data

چکیده

Atmospheric inversion typically relies on the specification of prior flux and atmospheric model transport errors, which have large uncertainties. Here, we used ACT-America airborne observations to compare observation mismatch in eastern U.S. during four climatological seasons for mesoscale WRF(-Chem) global scale CarbonTracker/TM5 (CT) models. Models identical surface carbon fluxes, CT was as boundary condition WRF. Both models showed reasonable agreement with observations, residuals follow near symmetric peaked (i.e., non-Gaussian) distribution near-zero bias both (CT: ppm; WRF: ppm). We also found magnitude at tails that contribute considerably overall bias. boundary-layer biases (1–10 ppm) were much larger than free tropospheric (0.5–1 same model-model differences, whereas mostly governed by background conditions. Results revealed systematic differences transport, most pronounced warm cold sectors synoptic systems, highlighting importance residuals. While could reproduce principal dynamics associated WRF a clearer distinction across fronts. Variograms quantify spatial correlation characteristic residual length scales approximately 100–300 km. Our findings suggest inclusion weather-dependent non-Gaussian error structure may benefit systems.

Examining document model residuals to provide feedback during Information Retrieval evaluation

Abstract Evaluation of document models for text based Information retrieval is crucial for developing document models that are appropriate for specific domains. Unfortunately, current document model evaluation methods for text retrieval provide no feedback, except for an evaluation score. To improve a model, we must use trial and error. In this article, we examine how we can provide feedback in...

Observation Centric Sensor Data Model

Management of sensor data requires metadata to understand the semantics of observations. While e-science researchers have high demands on metadata, they are selective in entering metadata. The claim in this paper is to focus on the essentials, i.e., the actual observations being described by location, time, owner, instrument, and measurement. The applicability of this approach is demonstrated i...

Adjusting Shape Parameters Using Model-Based Optical Flow Residuals

We present a method for estimating the shape of a deformable model using the least-squares residuals from a model-based optical flow computation. This method is built on top of an estimation framework using optical flow and image features, where optical flow affects only the motion parameters of the model. Using the results of this computation, our new method adjusts all of the parameters so th...

The Effect of Observation Data Sampling Methods on Infiltration Areas by Maximum Entropy Model

Statistical modeling methods are based on multivariate regression methods and require the presence and absence location of data for the construction of the model. In most cases, there is no trustworthy absence data. Therefore, other methods that are based only on the presence of the phenomenon are used. Considering the importance of modeling - saving time and cost and the probable prediction of...
