10 Inverse modelling choices Model transformation Original nonlinear Linearised Noise also transformed Model factorisation to spatial x spectral No factorisation One-step inversion Separate spatial and spectral Need to iterate to correct the approximation Cross sections Absolute DOAS Spectrally smooth constituents neglected A priori information None Smoothness Active profile (optimal est.) Contamination must be controlled Initial values ESA AATC Oxford 2008 Day 3 Limb retrieval - Erkki Kyrölä 10

11 Bayesian method P(x y)p(y) = P(y x)p(x) P(x y) = P(y x)p(x) P(y) = " P(y x)p(x) P(y x)p(x)dx P(x y) = Conditional probability distribution for model parameters x given data y P(x) = A priori probability for model parameters P(y x) = Conditional pdf for data y when x given. Also called as likelihood. P(y) = The normalization. It can usually be ignored. ESA AATC Oxford 2008 Day 3 Limb retrieval - Erkki Kyrölä 11

12 Wiki: Thomas Bayes was born in London. In 1719 he enrolled at the University of Edinburgh to study logic and theology: Because he was a Nonconformist, Oxford and Cambridge were closed to him. A systematic basis for inversion theory is given by the Bayesian approach Model parameters are random variables Probability distribution of model parameters is retrieved Prior information is needed. This has led to many controversies about the Bayesian approach. ESA AATC Oxford 2008 Day 3 Limb retrieval - Erkki Kyrölä 12

22 Chromatic effects Different colors different refraction angles Same det. times different altitudes Same altitude Different det. times ESA AATC Oxford 2008 Day 3 Limb retrieval - Erkki Kyrölä 22

23 We can, however, write T(z,") = T ref T ext Transmission from refractive effects can be estimated from ray tracing calculations (dilution, chromatic effects). In addition, we need photometer measurements to estimate the random part (scintillations). ESA AATC Oxford 2008 Day 3 Limb retrieval - Erkki Kyrölä 23
