Purpose of assimilation : reconstruct as accurately as possible the state of theatmospheric or oceanic flow, using all available appropriate information. The
latter essentially consists of
! The observations proper, which vary in nature, resolution and accuracy, andare distributed more or less regularly in space and time.
! The physical laws governing the evolution of the flow, available in practice inthe form of a discretized, and necessarily approximate, numerical model.
! Asymptotic properties of the flow, such as,e. g ., geostrophic balance of middle latitudes. Althoughthey basically are necessary consequences of the physical laws which govern the flow, these properties can usefully be explicitly introduced in the assimilation process.

Difculties specic to assimilation of meteorologicaland oceanographical observations :
- Very large numerical dimensions (n " 106-108 parameters tobe estimated, p " 2.107 observations per 24-hour period).Difculty aggravated in Numerical Weather Prediction by theneed for the forecast to be ready in time.
- Non-trivial underlying dynamics
8/13/2019 Tala Grand

Bayesian estimation is however impossible in its general theoretical formin meteorological or oceanographical practice because
It is impossible to explicitly describe a probability distribution in a spacewith dimension even as low asn " 103, not to speak of the dimensionn "106-8 of present Numerical Weather Prediction models.
Probability distribution of errors on data very poorly known (model errorsin particular).

One has to restrict oneself to a much more modest goal. Two
approaches exist at present! Obtain some central estimate of the conditional probability
distribution (expectation, mode, ), plus some estimate of thecorresponding spread (standard deviations and a number of correlations).
! Produce an ensemble of estimates which are meant to sample theconditional probability distribution (dimension N " O(10-100)).

Background is not necessary, if observations are in sufcient number tooverdetermine the problem.
How to minimize objective function with respect to initial stateu = & 0 (u is
called thecontrol variable of the problem) ?
Use iterative minimization algorithm, each step of which requires the explicitknowledge of the local gradient& u J ' (( J /( u i) of J with respect tou.
Gradient computed byadjoint method.
