Second Order Methods for Error Propagation in Variational Data Assimilation

Abstract

This chapter discusses the use of second-order methods for estimating error propagation in variational data assimilation. The basic variational approach to data assimilation exhibits the optimality system: it can be considered as a generalized model containing all the available information. To estimate the impact of errors due to the parameters of the model and/or to the observations, it is necessary to consider second-order properties. The variational approach can be used to estimate the propagation of uncertainties in the analysis. Two basic cases are considered. In the deterministic framework, the uncertainty is a virtual and deterministic perturbation on the model parameters, whose impact on some criterion is to be found. In the stochastic framework, the uncertainty is a random variable transported by the model as such. The output is a stochastic perturbation on the outputs of the analysis, for which it is necessary to determine its probabilistic characteristics.
