As long as the control adjustments reduce the cost function, then I suppose that the optimization process will still work. Do you agree?<br class=""><br class="">However, if we are attempting to reconstruct an objective function using adjoint sensitivities and anomalies (e.g. Helen Pillar's work on RAPID time series reconstructions, see her 2016 J. Climate paper), then the potential double-counting could be an issue. I'm hoping that by avoiding the bulk formulae I can more cleanly separate the effects of wind stress anomalies from those of heat flux anomalies. </div><div class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div>Best,<br class="">Dan<br class=""><br clear="all" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" class=""><div class="">--------------------------------------------------------------<br class="">Dr Dan Jones / British Antarctic Survey</div><div class=""><a href="http://www.danjonesocean.com/" target="_blank" class="">danjonesocean.com</a> / @DanJonesOcean</div><div class="">--------------------------------------------------------------</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
