An idealized study of coupled atmosphere-ocean 4D-Var in the presence of model error
Atmosphere only and ocean only variational data assimilation (DA) schemes are able to use window lengths that are optimal for the error growth rate, non-linearity and observation density of the respective systems. Typical window lengths are 6-12 hours for the atmosphere and 2-10 days for the ocean. However, in the implementation of coupled DA schemes it has been necessary to match the window le...
متن کاملDetermining The Effective Resolution of Advection Schemes
The effective resolution of a numerical scheme describes the smallest spatial scale (largest wavenumber) that is completely resolved by that scheme. This is often significantly larger than the model’s grid spacing, resulting in poor representation of features that are of the order of the grid scale. We present two methods to determine the effective resolution of numerical advection schemes. An ...
متن کاملA comparative study of 4D-VAR and a 4D Ensemble Kalman Filter: perfect model simulations with Lorenz-96
We formulate a four-dimensional Ensemble Kalman Filter (4D-LETKF) that minimizes a cost function similar to that in a 4D-VAR method. Using perfect model experiments with the Lorenz-96 model, we compare assimilation of simulated asynchronous observations with 4D-VAR and 4D-LETKF. We find that both schemes have comparable error when 4D-LETKF is performed sufficiently frequently and when 4D-VAR is...
متن کاملSensitivity of Atmospheric Transport Model Performance to Numerical Advection Schemes and Resolution
We have tested four newly developed 3D advection schemes named Mol-rg, Split-u, Split-us and Split-rg. We compared these schemes with Slopes and Second Moment. Mol-rg and Split-rg make use of a reduced grid, a grid with less cells near the poles, to overcome the well known pole-singularity. Two tests were performed with all schemes: the solid-body rotation test and a radon test. The radon test ...
متن کاملA comparative study of the performance of high resolution advection schemes in the context of data assimilation
High resolution advection schemes have been developed and studied to model propagation of flows involving sharp fronts and shocks. So far the impact of these schemes in the framework of inverse problem solution has been studied only in the context of linear models. A detailed study of the impact of various slope limiters and the piecewise parabolic method (PPM) on data assimilation is the subje...
