Synopsis

Data Assimilation for the Geosciences: From Theory to Application brings together all of the mathematical and statistical background knowledge needed to formulate data assimilation systems into one place. It includes practical exercises that enable readers to apply theory in a theoretical formulation and teaches how to code the theory with sample problems that verify understanding.

The book also demonstrates how data assimilation systems are implemented in larger scale fluid dynamical problems related to land surface, the atmosphere, oceans, and other geophysical situations. Users will find a comprehensive presentation of the subject, beginning with basic principles and then advanced methods, like Particle Filters and Monte-Carlo-Markov-Chain methods.

In addition, the book covers the applications of data assimilation techniques in various disciplines of geosciences, making the book useful to students, teachers, and research scientists.

• Includes practical exercises, enabling readers to apply theory in a theoretical formulation
• Teaches users how to code theory
• Presents a step-by-step guide on how, and why, data assimilation works and can be used
• Provides all of the mathematical and statistical background knowledge needed to formulate data assimilation systems into one place

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Steven Fletcher has years of experience in Data Assimilation and has taught and researched in this area. He has published numerous journal articles and book chapters in the area. His research crosses over the disciplines of mathematics and geosciences. His research projects include Improvements to background error covariances and moisture representation in the Navy data assimilation system and Impact Assessment and Data Assimilation of NOAA NPP/JPSS Sounding products and Quality Control Parameters - which uses GIS for quality control testing. For the past several years he has been an active participant and organizer of the American Geophysical Union s annual meeting. This included being a committee member for Nonlinear Geophysics.
