Hyperparameter estimation for uncertainty quantification in mesoscale carbon dioxide inversions

Uncertainty quantification is critical in the inversion of CO2 surface fluxes from atmospheric concentration measurements. Here, we estimate the main hyperparameters of the error covariance matrices for a priori fluxes and CO2 concentrations, that is, the variances and the correlation lengths, using...
