We consider the ability of an inverse model framework and observations
from the Cooperative Air Sampling Network to resolve fluxes at various scales
over a 20-year period. During this time the observational network underwent a
significant expansion. We calculate the resolution kernel to determine which
continental/ocean basin scale fluxes may be resolved, and which spatial
aggregations of fluxes are well resolved. In addition, the resolution kernel is
used to obtain insights into how source regions are constrained by individual
measurement sites.
