Large-Scale Simulations Using First and Second Order Adjoints with Applications in Data Assimilation

In large-scale air quality simulations we are interested in the influence factors which cause changes of pollutants, and optimization methods which improve forecasts. The solutions to these problems can be achieved by incorporating adjoint models, which are efficient in computing the derivatives of...
