An objective prior error quantification for regional atmospheric inverse applications

Assigning proper prior uncertainties for inverse modelling of CO<sub>2</sub> is of high importance, both to regularise the otherwise ill-constrained inverse problem and to quantitatively characterise the magnitude and structure of the error between prior and "true" flux. We use...
