Simulation of atmospheric N<sub>2</sub>O with GEOS-Chem and its adjoint: evaluation of observational constraints

We describe a new 4D-Var inversion framework for nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) based on the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model and its adjoint, and apply it in a series of observing system simulation experiments to assess how well N<sub>2</sub>O sources and sinks can be cons...
