Adding background to simulations (background / std)

Description

Add background to simulations to represent concentrations with a regional model, including influence of emissions outside the domain of simulations.

This is to be applied for Rödenbeck approach inversions, with a beckground pre-computed at correct locations from a global model with regional emissions switched-off.

See details of this approach in Rödenbeck et al., 2009.

Yaml arguments

The following arguments are used to configure the plugin. pyCIF will return an exception at the initialization if mandatory arguments are not specified, or if any argument does not fit accepted values or type:

Mandatory arguments

spec: (mandatory)

The species to process for the background.

accepted type: str

Optional arguments

parameter: (optional)

Parameter name on which the transform works on

accepted type: str

component: (optional)

Component name on which the transform works on

accepted type: str

orig_parameter_plg: (optional)

Plugin object on which the transform works on

accepted type: Plugin

orig_component_plg: (optional)

Corresponding component object on which the transform works on

accepted type: Plugin

successor: (optional)

Name of the successor transform

accepted type: str

precursor: (optional)

Name of the precursor transform

accepted type: str
