Abstract: The adjoint functions for an atmospheric model are the solution to a system of equations derived from a differential form of the model's equations. The adjoint functions can be used to calculate efficiently the sensitivity ...

Abstract: This work presents an efficient method for calculating the sensitivity of a mathematical model's result to feedback. Feedback is defined in terms of an operator acting on the model's dependent variables. The sensitivity ...

Abstract: The adjoint method of sensitivity analysis is demonstrated on a radiative-convective climate model. A single adjoint calculation, which requires about the same computation time as the original model suffices to calculate ...
