Description:
Data assimilation is the combination of information from observations and
models of a particular physical system in order to get the best possible estimate of the
state of that system. The technique has wide applications across a range of earth
sciences, a major application being the production of operational weather forecasts.
Others include oceanography, atmospheric chemistry, climate studies, and hydrology. Data
Assimilation for the Earth System is a comprehensive survey of both the theory of data
assimilation and its application in a range of earth system sciences. Data assimilation
is a key technique in the analysis of remote sensing observations and is thus
particularly useful for those analysing the wealth of measurements from recent research
satellites. This book is suitable for postgraduate students and those working on the
application of data assimilation in meteorology, oceanography and other earth sciences.
