The paper presents a prototype of a Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation System (CCDAS), which is composed of a terrestrial biosphere model (BETHY) coupled to an atmospheric transport model (TM2), corresponding derivative codes as well as a derivative-based optimisation routine. In calibration mode, we use first and second derivatives, to estimate model parameters and their uncertainties from atmospheric observations and their uncertainties. In prognostic mode, we use first derivatives, to map model parameters and their uncertainties onto prognostic quantities and their uncertainties.

The authors first used TAMC and then TAF. The model uses an iterative solver, for which, after inserting 5 TAF flow directives, TAF can generate a very efficient adjoint. The TAF generated adjoint is slightly faster than its hand coded counterpart.

Among other things, the paper compares the performance of two sets of derivative code for a test problem. One of these sets is generated by ADIFOR 3 and the other by TAF. The TAF generated adjoint code is by a factor of 5 faster than that generated by the ADIFOR 3.
