• Abstract summary: Inversion often involves running a Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) to generate sensitivities between observations and flux over a spatial domain of interest. To address this problem, here we develop a novel-based emulator for LPDM sensitivities that is built using a convolutional variationaltemporal autocoder (CVAE) Emulated variables are then passed through the decoder segment of the CVAE to yield emulated sensitivities.

• Abstract: Flux inversion is the process by which sources and sinks of a gas are identified from observations of gas mole fraction. The inversion often involves running a Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) to generate sensitivities between observations and fluxes over a spatial domain of interest. The LPDM must be run backward in time for every gas measurement, and this can be computationally prohibitive. To address this problem, here we develop a novel spatio-temporal emulator for LPDM sensitivities that is built using a convolutional variational autoencoder (CVAE). With the encoder segment of the CVAE, we obtain approximate (variational) posterior distributions over latent variables in a low-dimensional space. We then use a spatio-temporal Gaussian process emulator on the low-dimensional space to emulate new variables at prediction locations and time points. Emulated variables are then passed through the decoder segment of the CVAE to yield emulated sensitivities. We show that our CVAE-based emulator outperforms the more traditional emulator built using empirical orthogonal functions and that it can be used with different LPDMs. We conclude that our emulation-based approach can be used to reliably reduce the computing time needed to generate LPDM outputs for use in high-resolution flux inversions.
