Sensitivity Analysis in Nonlinear Variational Data Assimilation: Theoretical Aspects and Applications
This chapter presents the mathematical framework to evaluate the sensitivity of a model forecast aspect to the input parameters of a nonlinear four-dimensional variational data assimilation system (4D-Var DAS): observations, prior state (background) estimate, and the error covariance specification. A fundamental relationship is established between the forecast sensitivity with respect to the in...
متن کاملReduced-order Observation Sensitivity in 4d-var Data Assimilation
Observation sensitivity techniques have been initially developed in the context of 3D-Var data assimilation for applications to targeted observations (Baker and Daley 2000, Doerenbecher and Bergot 2001). Adjoint-based methods are currently implemented in NWP to monitor the observation impact on analysis and short-range forecasts (Fourrié et al. 2002, Langland and Baker 2004, Zhu and Gelaro 2008...
متن کاملEnsemble Kalman Filter: Current Status and Potential
In this chapter we give an introduction to different types of Ensemble Kalman filter, describe the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (LETKF) as a representative prototype of these methods, and several examples of how advanced properties and applications that have been developed and explored for 4D-Var (four-dimensional variational assimilation) can be adapted to the LETKF without requiring...

متن کاملVariational chemical data assimilation with approximate adjoints
6 Data assimilation obtains improved estimates of the state of a physical system by com7 bining imperfect model results with sparse and noisy observations of reality. In the four 8 dimensional variational (4D-Var) framework data assimilation is formulated as an opti9 mization problem, which is solved using gradient based optimization methods.The 4D10 Var gradient is obtained by forcing the adjo...
