[ecco-support] Change-of-variable formulas for adjoint sensitivities

[Christopher Wolfe]

Hi all:

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.

Not sure if this is the right forum. If not, I’m happy to ask the wider MITgcm-support list.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

Cheers,
Christopher
