Abstract. Synchronized sun-photometric measurements from the AERONET-CIMEL and GAW-PFR aerosol networks are used to compare retrievals of the aerosol optical depth, effective radius and volume concentration during a high temporal resolution measurement campaign at the Athens site in the Mediterranean Basin from 14–22 July 2009. During this period, direct sun AOD retrievals from both instruments exhibited small differences in the range 0.01–0.02 despite the presence of a strong dust event. In addition to AERONET-CIMEL inversion data, an independent inversion method was applied that involves expanding the particle size distribution in terms of measurement kernels so as to estimate bulk particle parameters from a linear-estimated combination of the input optical data. AOD measurements obtained from both CIMEL and PFR instruments using this method also showed reasonable agreement. For low aerosol loads (AOD < 0.2), measurements of the effective radius by the PFR were found to be −20% to +30% different from CIMEL values for both direct sun data and inversion data. At higher loads (AOD > 0.4), measurements of the effective radius by the PFR are consistently 20% lower than CIMEL for both direct sun and inversion data. Volume concentrations at low aerosol loads from the PFR are up to 80% higher than the CIMEL for direct sun data, but inversion data suggests that volume concentrations from the PFR are up to 20% lower than the CIMEL under these same conditions. At higher loads, the percentage difference in volume concentrations from the PFR and CIMEL is systematically negative with inversion data predicting differences 30% lower than those obtained from direct sun data. An assessment of the effect of errors in the AOD retrieval on the estimation of PFR bulk parameters was made using Monte Carlo simulations and demonstrated that it is possible to estimate the effective radius with an uncertainty below 60% and the volume concentration with an uncertainty below 65% even when AOD < 0.2 and when the input errors are as high as 10%. Highlights – A comparison of high temporal resolution synchronous CIMEL and PFR direct sun AOD measurement retrievals – Calculation of bulk aerosol microphysics parameters using a linear estimation inversion technique – A comparison of retrieved aerosol volume concentrations and effective radii from CIMEL and PFR inversions – An analysis of the sensitivity of PFR retrievals to random errors on the optical input data

In full‐wave inversion of seismic data in complex media it is desirable to use finite differences or finite elements for the forward modeling, but such methods are still prohibitively expensive when implemented in 3-D. Full‐wave 2-D inversion schemes are of limited utility even in 2-D media because they do not model 3-D dynamics correctly. Many seismic experiments effectively assume that the geology varies in two dimensions only but generate 3-D (point source) wavefields; that is, they are “two‐and‐one‐half‐dimensional” (2.5-D), and this configuration can be exploited to model 3-D propagation efficiently in such media. We propose a frequency domain full‐wave inversion algorithm which uses a 2.5-D finite difference forward modeling method. The calculated seismogram can be compared directly with real data, which allows the inversion to be iterated. We use a descents‐related method to minimize a least‐squares measure of the wavefield mismatch at the receivers. The acute nonlinearity caused by phase‐wrapping, which corresponds to time‐domain cycle‐skipping, is avoided by the strategy of either starting the inversion using a low frequency component of the data or constructing a starting model using traveltime tomography. The inversion proceeds by stages at successively higher frequencies across the observed bandwidth. The frequency domain is particularly efficient for crosshole configurations and also allows easy incorporation of attenuation, via complex velocities, in both forward modeling and inversion. This also requires the introduction of complex source amplitudes into the inversion as additional unknowns. Synthetic studies show that the iterative scheme enables us to achieve the theoretical maximum resolution for the velocity reconstruction and that strongly attenuative zones can be recovered with reasonable accuracy. Preliminary results from the application of the method to a real data set are also encouraging.

Due to the limitations that the current interwell connectivity can not consider shut-in wells and the inversion solving method is not reliable, a novel model that can consider the compressibility and shut-in situations is established. In order to further decrease the ill-posedness of the solutions for the connectivity model, a constraint optimization algorithm by using Bayesian theories and projection gradient method are proposed. The tests for a synthetic reservoir model and a real oil field indicate that the proposed methodology can efficiently estimate the interwell connectivity with high precision and reliability for practical application.

Abstract. Understanding methane emissions from the Arctic, a fast warming carbon reservoir, is important for projecting changes in the global methane cycle under future climate scenarios. Here we optimize Arctic methane emissions with a nested-grid high-resolution inverse model by assimilating both high-precision surface measurements and column-average SCIAMACHY satellite retrievals of methane mole fraction. For the first time, methane emissions from lakes are integrated into an atmospheric transport and inversion estimate, together with prior wetland emissions estimated by six different biogeochemical models. We find that, the global methane emissions during July 2004–June 2005 ranged from 496.4 to 511.5 Tg yr−1, with wetland methane emissions ranging from 130.0 to 203.3 Tg yr−1. The Arctic methane emissions during July 2004–June 2005 were in the range of 14.6–30.4 Tg yr−1, with wetland and lake emissions ranging from 8.8 to 20.4 Tg yr−1 and from 5.4 to 7.9 Tg yr−1 respectively. Canadian and Siberian lakes contributed most of the estimated lake emissions. Due to insufficient measurements in the region, Arctic methane emissions are less constrained in northern Russia than in Alaska, northern Canada and Scandinavia. Comparison of different inversions indicates that the distribution of global and Arctic methane emissions is sensitive to prior wetland emissions. Evaluation with independent datasets shows that the global and Arctic inversions improve estimates of methane mixing ratios in boundary layer and free troposphere. The high-resolution inversions provide more details about the spatial distribution of methane emissions in the Arctic.

Abstract. This study analyzed the aerosol optical properties derived by SKYRAD.pack versions 5.0 and 4.2 using the radiometer measurements over Qionghai and Yucheng in China, two new sites of the sky radiometer network (SKYNET). The volume size distribution retrieved by V5.0 presented bimodal patterns with a 0.1–0.2 μm fine particle mode and a 5–6 μm coarse particle mode both over Qionghai and Yucheng. The differences of the volume size distributions between the two versions were very large for the coarse mode with a radius of over 5 μm. The mean values of single scattering albedo (SSA) at 500 nm retrieved from V5.0 were approximately 0.02 lower, but 0.03 higher than those from V4.2 in Qionghai and Yucheng, respectively. The average imaginary part of the complex refractive index (mi) retrieved from V5.0 at all wavelengths was systemically higher than those by V4.2 over Qionghai. Moreover, the differences between the real parts of the complex refractive index (mr) obtained using the two versions were within 4.25 % both at Yucheng and Qionghai. The seasonal variability of the aerosol properties over Qionghai and Yucheng were investigated based on SKYRAD.pack V5.0. The seasonal average SSA during the winter was larger than those in other seasons in Yucheng, while the lowest SSA values occurred in winter over Qionghai. Meanwhile, the mr showed a minimum in winter over both sites. The results can provide validation data in China for SKYNET to continue improving the data-processing and inversion method. The results provide valuable references for continued improvement of the retrieval algorithms of SKYNET and other aerosol observational networks.
