Forecast Error Correction using Dynamic Data Assimilation by Sivaramakrishnan Lakshmivarahan, John M. Lewis, Rafal Jabrzemski.

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 as...
