Gaussian process tomography (GPT) [J. Svensson, JET Internal Report EFDA-JET-PR(11)24, 2011 and D. Li, J. Svensson, H. Thomsen, F. Medina, A. Werner, and R. Wolf, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 84, 083506 (2013)] is a recently developed tomography method applied earlier to soft X-ray (SXR) spectroscopy on WEST-Tungsten (W) Environment in Steady-state Tokamak. The short execution time of the algorithm makes GPT an important candidate for providing real-time information on impurity transport and for fast MHD control. In earlier work, GPT has shown its flexibility by providing good reconstruction results without background information about the magnetic equilibrium. On the other hand, information about the magnetic flux surface geometry can in general be useful for additional regularization of the solution. In this paper, we develop a way to take into account the equilibrium information, by constructing a covariance matrix of the prior Gaussian process depending on the flux surface geometry. The GPT method is validated using synthetic SXR emissivity profiles relevant to WEST plasmas and compares favorably with the classical algorithm based on minimization of the Fisher information.
