Abstract
Description:
The availability and the appropriate use of accurate and widespread observational information are of paramount importance in order to increase the accuracy of weather forecasts. Data assimilation techniques provide a framework to find the best initial state that is consistent with all available information about the state of the system, here considered to be the Earth’s atmosphere. In this paper, a brief introduction to both variational and ensemble based data assimilation is provided, with a focus on the main characteristics of satellite data assimilation and some of its current issues.
