Source backtracking for dust storm emission inversion using an adjoint method: case study of Northeast China

<p>Emission inversion using data assimilation fundamentally relies on having the correct assumptions about the emission background error covariance. A perfect covariance accounts for the uncertainty based on prior knowledge and is able to explain differences between model simulations and obser...
