Observing the continental-scale carbon balance: assessment of sampling complementarity and redundancy in a terrestrial assimilation system by means of quantitative network design

Abstract: Abstract. This paper investigates the relationship between the heterogeneity of the terrestrial carbon cycle and the optimal design of observing networks to constrain it. We combine the methods of quantitative network design and carboncycle data assimilation to a hierarchy of increasingly heterogeneous descriptions of the European terrestrial biosphere as indicated by increasing diversity of plant functional types. We employ three types of observations, flask measurements of CO 2 concentrations, continuous mea… Show more

“…The choice of the control vector is a subjective element in the QND procedure. A good choice covers all input factors with high uncertainty and high impact on simulated observations y mod or target quantities f (Kaminski et al, 2012b;Rayner et al, 2016). The target quantity may be any quantity that can be extracted from a simulation with the underlying model, i.e.…”
