The paper presents a prototype of a Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation System (CCDAS), which is composed of a terrestrial biosphere model (BETHY) coupled to an atmospheric transport model (TM2), corresponding derivative codes as well as a derivative-based optimisation routine. In calibration mode, we use first and second derivatives, to estimate model parameters and their uncertainties from atmospheric observations and their uncertainties. In prognostic mode, we use first derivatives, to map model parameters and their uncertainties onto prognostic quantities and their uncertainties.
