Synopsis

This book explores data assimilation and initialization methods in numerical weather prediction. The author begins by detailing estimation theory and its role in assimilation before delving into the two-time-scale behavior of atmospheric solutions and how this behavior affects data assimilation. The book incorporates the mathematical theory of estimation into initialization theory and offers a novel assimilation method that combines the standard Kalman-Bucy filter with a projection onto the model's slow solution subspace. This method is statistically optimal for linear stochastic-dynamic models, making it a valuable tool for data assimilation and initialization in numerical simulations of the atmosphere.
