I might be misunderstanding you, but the averaging kernels you get from Qpack 
in the species1_A or wind_u_A, only contain the part of the averaging kernel 
matrix related to the variable retrieved. This means that the wind_u_A tells 
you the relation between the true wind and retrieved wind, and as such is 
independent on the number of species you retrieve. 

To get the full AVK matrix, you can include 'A' in the L2_EXTRA field.  

Q.L2_EXTRA     = {'A'};

I hope this helps

I think I'm doing that already (I have 4 or 5 species in my model atmosphere) 
but the resulting averaging kernel for wind (L2.wind_u_A) suggests it's only 
using the first species despite '.RETRIEVE' and '.L2' being set to true for 
both CO and Ozone. My issue might be with getting the useful diagnostic 
information out.

Hi,

you can add a second (or more) species to Qpack by expanding the Q.ABS_SPECIES 
field in the following way:

Q.ABS_SPECIES(1).TAG      = { 'CO' };
.
.
Q.ABS_SPECIES(2).TAG      = { 'O3' };
.
.

And so forth. Note that the spectral line for each species must also be added 
to your linefile as well as to your atmospheric fields 
(Q.ABS_SPECIES(2).ATMDATA). To retrieve the species,  the covariance matrix, 
retrieval grids, etc. must be set separately for each species.

For a complete example check out the qpack2_demo2.m file in atmlab/demos

Regards

Ole Martin Christensen

Subject: [Qpack] Qpack: Retrieval using multiple species

Hello Qpack community, and a happy new year.

I am currently running wind retrievals on simulated Ozone and CO lines with 
some success. I was wondering if anyone knew how to run the retrieval on two 
species simultaneously? I have been able to use double lines but only of the 
same species.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Regards,
