  4. B41G-02 (AGU 2007) Yung et al., Constraining the N2O budget using isotopologues and isotopomers The Adjoint Method • Goal: Calculate the gradient of a cost function with respect to initial control variables. • Steps: • 1. Linearize the model • 2. Transpose the linear model

  5. B41G-02 (AGU 2007) Yung et al., Constraining the N2O budget using isotopologues and isotopomers Tangent linear and Adjoint Model Compiler (TAMC) • Created for Fortran 77 with some extensions for 90/95 • Automatic generation of adjoint code • Takes top-level routine and creates adjoint routines • Follows all guidelines in Giering (1998) • Examples • MIT ocean model • Hamburg Ocean Primitive Equation Model (HOPE) • Tracer Model (TM2)

  13. B41G-02 (AGU 2007) Yung et al., Constraining the N2O budget using isotopologues and isotopomers What is the uncertainty of this budget projection?

  14. B41G-02 (AGU 2007) Yung et al., Constraining the N2O budget using isotopologues and isotopomers Conclusions • The IPCC 2007 N2O budget appears to be consistent with the isotopic data • Isotopic analysis narrows uncertainty range of the model budget • Extend the model to the pre-industrial revolution • Site preference data for 15N provides the most sensitive discrimination between natural and anthropogenic sources of N2O.
