Are the elements of an averaging kernel matrix always centered on the diagonal, or can they be exclusively off-diagonal in rare cases?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Erin Colon What is an averaging kernel? The averaging kernel matrix describes both the vertical resolution of each level in the retrieval and the relative weighting between the true profile and a priori profile. Can a diagonal matrix have a zero on the diagonal? A diagonal matrix is defined as a square matrix
