Forecast Error Correction using Dynamic Data Assimilation

by John M. Lewis, Sivaramakrishnan Lakshmivarahan, Rafal Jabrzemski ...

Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
This book introduces the reader to a new method of data assimilation with deterministic constraints (exact satisfaction of dynamic constraints)—an optimal assimilation strategy called Forecast Sensitivity Method (FSM), as an alternative to the well-known four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation method. 4D-Var works with a forward in time prediction model and a backward in time ...

Climate Change Modeling Methodology

Selected Entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology

Edited by Philip J. Rasch ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
The Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.4°F over the past century, and computer models project that it will rise much more over the next hundred years, with significant impacts on weather, climate, and human society. Many climate scientists attribute these increases to the build up of greenhouse gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels and to the anthropogenic production of short-lived ... Read more
