post-proc/std `post-proc/std`#

Description#

Post-processing mode: project a saved inversion result back to physical maps.

This mode does not run the observation operator. It reads a pre-existing control vector (and optionally a pre-existing observation vector) from disk, reprojects the flux tracers from the (flattened) control-vector space to spatially resolved maps for both the prior \(\mathbf{x}_b\) and the posterior \(\mathbf{x}_a\), computes their difference \(\mathbf{x}_a - \mathbf{x}_b\), and saves all three fields as NetCDF files in the same directory as the control vector.

Typical use#

Run this mode after a completed variational or analytical inversion to produce map-ready output without re-running any forward simulations:

mode:
  plugin:
    name: post-proc
    version: std
  controlvect_file: /path/to/controlvect_final.pickle

The resulting NetCDF files are:

controlvect_x.nc — posterior flux map \(\mathbf{x}_a\)
controlvect_xb.nc — prior flux map \(\mathbf{x}_b\)
ratio_x-xb.nc — difference \(\mathbf{x}_a - \mathbf{x}_b\)

Requirements#

The current plugin requires the present plugins to run properly:

Requirement name	Requirement type	Explicit definition	Any valid	Default name	Default version
obsvect	ObsVect	True	True	standard	std
controlvect	ControlVect	True	True	standard	std
obsoperator	ObsOperator	True	True	standard	std
