abstract = {Measurements of the large dimensional chemical state of the
atmosphere provide only sparse snapshots of the state of the
system due to their typically insufficient temporal and
spatial density. In order to optimize the measurement
configurations despite those limitations, the present work
describes the identification of sensitive states of the
chemical system as optimal target areas for adaptive
observations. For this purpose, the technique of singular
vector analysis (SVA), which has been proved effective for
targeted observations in numerical weather predication, is
implemented into the chemical transport model EURAD-IM
(EURopean Air pollution and Dispersion – Inverse Model)
yielding the EURAD-IM-SVA. Besides initial values, emissions
are investigated as critical simulation controlling
targeting variables. For both variants, singular vectors are
applied to determine the optimal placement for observations
and moreover to quantify which chemical compounds have to be
observed with preference. Based on measurements of the
airship based ZEPTER-2 campaign, the EURAD-IM-SVA has been
evaluated by conducting a comprehensive set of model runs
involving different initial states and simulation lengths.
Since the considered cases are restricted in terms of
considered chemical compounds and selected areas, they allow
for a retracing of the results and a confirmation of their
correctness. Our analysis shows that the optimal placement
for observations of chemical species is not entirely
determined by mere transport and mixing processes. Rather, a
combination of initial chemical concentrations, chemical
conversions, and meteorological processes determine the
influence of chemical compounds and regions. We furthermore
demonstrate that the optimal placement of observations of
emission strengths is highly dependent on the location of
emission sources and that the benefit of including emissions
as target variables outperforms the value of initial value
optimisation with growing simulation length. The obtained
results confirm the benefit of considering both initial
values and emission strengths as target variables and of
applying the EURAD-IM-SVA for measurement decision guidance
with respect to chemical compounds.},
