Dear Facundo,

As I understand your question, the answer is no. Or at least, this can 
not be done automatically.

However, if you think that H2O and temperature can give substantial 
errors (I can not see how O2 should give rise to an error), you should 
retrieve H2O and T in parallel to O3. That will decrease the impact of 
H2O and T. In short, OEM will then adjust as far as possible to H2O and 
T uncertainties. The impact of H2O and T will then be included in the 
standard error estimate.

You have seen that Qpack can give you the error covariance matrix?

If you retrieve H2O and T, what you call df/dH2O and df/dT are part of 
the (total) Jacobian matrix, that you can trigger Qpack to output, i.e. 
L2.J. The fields L2.jq and L2.ji give you information about what part of 
J that belong to H2O and T etc. That should give you a way to calculate 
separate errors.

Bye,

Patrick
