| Zusammenfassung |
| Neural networks are ideally suited to describe the spatial and
temporal dependence of tracer-tracer correlations. The neural network performs well even in regions where the correlations are
less compact and normally a family of correlation curves would be required. For example, the
CH4-N2O correlation can be well described using a neural network trained with the latitude,
pressure, time of year, and \methane\ volume mixing ratio (v.m.r.). In this study a neural network using Quickprop learning
and one hidden layer with eight nodes was able to reproduce the CH4-N2O
correlation with a correlation coefficient between simulated and training values of 0.9995. Such an accurate
representation of tracer-tracer correlations allows more use to be made of long-term datasets to constrain chemical models. Such as
the dataset from the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) which has continuously observed
CH4 (but not N2O) from 1991 till the present. The neural network
Fortran code used is available for download. |
