Data Assimilation for the Geosciences From Theory to Application / Сбор данных для наук о земле. От теории к применению

Data assimilation plays a vital role in how forecasts are made for different geophysical disciplines. While the numerical model of the geophysical systems are critical, so are the observations of the same system, be they direct or indirect. Neither the model nor the observations are perfect, and both are required for an improved forecast than can be achieved through solely using the numerical model without guidance of how accurate the current state is, or through producing a persistence, or advection, forecast from observations. <...>
