Abstract
This study analyzes some mathematical aspects of data assimilation for atmospheric chemistry models based on variational approaches. Of interest here are the so called adjoint methods which are particularly efficient to mathematically solve the variational problem. Details concerning operator splitting, adjoint and gradient computations are also discussed.
