Reduced-order 4D-Var: a preconditioner for the Incremental 4D-Var data assimilation method
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study demonstrates how the incremental 4D-Var data assimilation method can be applied efficiently preconditioned in an application to an oceanographic problem. The approach consists in performing a few iterations of the reduced-order 4D-Var prior to the incremental 4D-Var in the full space in order to achieve faster convergence. An application performed in the tropical Pacific Ocean, with assimilation of TAO temperature data, shows the method to be both feasible and efficient. It allows the global cost of the assimilation to be reduced by a factor of 2 without affecting the quality of the solution.

Inverse three-dimensional variational data assimilation for an advection-diffusion problem: Impact of diffusion and hybrid application
[1] In this study, the performance of inverse threedimensional variational assimilation (I3D-Var) is investigated in terms of dissipation process for an advection-diffusion problem. The performance of I3D-Var becomes poorer with larger diffusion coefficients. However, even for strong dissipation, the cost function during early iterations in the I3D-Var decreases still much faster than it does i...

A set of four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-Var) experiments were conducted using both a standard method and an incremental method in an identical twin framework. The full physics adjoint model of the Florida State University global spectral model (FSUGSM) was used in the standard 4D-Var, while the adjoint of only a few selected physical parameterizations was used in the increme...
متن کاملFour-dimensional ensemble variational (4D-En-Var) data assimilation for the HIgh Resolution Limited Area Model (HIRLAM)
A four-dimensional ensemble variational (4D-EnVar) data assimilation has been developed for a limited area model. The integration of tangent linear and adjoint models, as applied in standard 4D-Var, is replaced with the use of an ensemble of non-linear model states to estimate fourdimensional background error covariances over the assimilation time window. The computational costs for 4D-En-Var a...
متن کاملA reduced and limited memory preconditioned approach for the 4D-Var data assimilation problem
Data assimilation is a concept involving any method which estimates the initial state of a dynamical system by combining both the information from a numerical model and from observations. The computed estimated initial state of the system can then be integrated in time to obtain a forecast. There are two main ways to solve data assimilation problems. The sequential methods are based on statisti...
متن کاملA Dual-Weighted Approach to Order Reduction in 4D-Var Data Assimilation
Strategies to achieve order reduction in four dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-Var) search for an optimal low rank state subspace for the analysis update. A common feature of the reduction methods proposed in atmospheric and oceanographic studies is that the identification of the basis functions relies on the model dynamics only, without properly accounting for the specific details...
