<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi all:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Does any know of a simple formula (or reference) for a changing the dependent variables of adjoint sensitivities? For example, suppose you have the sensitivities of a cost function, J, to zonal and meridional wind stress. Is there a straightforward way to use these to calculate the sensitivity of J to the wind stress curl? I figured that there ought to be, but I got buried under a mountain of functional analysis and worried I was overthinking it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Not sure if this is the right forum. If not, I’m happy to ask the wider MITgcm-support list.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks in advance for any pointers!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Christopher</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
