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 proven effective for
targeted observations in numerical weather prediction, is
implemented in the EURAD-IM (EURopean Air pollution and
Dispersion – Inverse Model) chemical transport model,
yielding the EURAD-IM-SVA v1.0. 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 v1.0 has been evaluated by conducting a
comprehensive set of model runs involving different initial
states and simulation lengths. For the sake of brevity, we
concentrate our attention on the following chemical
compounds, O3, NO, NO2, HCHO, CO, HONO, and OH, and focus on
their influence on selected O3 profiles. 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 determines 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 optimization 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 v1.0 for measurement decision guidance with
respect to chemical compounds.},
