Testing dual-tracer CO+CO2 vs the single tracer systems

I've coded in my CO and CO2 inversions into a more general multi-tracer system. To test the multi-tracer system, at each step we will compare their inputs and outputs to the individual single-tracer systems.

  • Are the CO and CO2 emissions equal? Yes
  • Are the CO and CO2 point observations equal? Yes, except for station_id, which is expected to be different
  • Are the RemoTeC and IASI observations equal? Yes
  • Are the save_ files in the end equal? Yes
  • Are the 3-hourly 3D mixing ratio fields equal? Yes
  • Are the point and satellite output/track files equal? Yes
  • Are the point and satellite departure files equal? Yes (CO2 departures are different by ~10-14, perhaps insignificant)
  • Are the adjoint emissions equal? Yes (Again, different by 1 part in 1014, perhaps insignificant)
  • Does the gradient test with two tracers converge? Yes
  • Does 4DVAR give the same result as individual CO and CO2 inversions? See next post
