The first reference book written for geoscientistics that covers the mathematics, statistics, and probability theory needs to understand data assimilation.
Includes practical exercises, enabling readers to apply concepts in a theoretical formulation
Offers explanations for how to code certain parts of the theory
Presents a step-by-step guide on how, and why, data assimilation works and can be used
This book brings together all of the mathematical, statistical, and probability background knowledge needed to formulate data assimilation systems in one place. It includes practical exercises for understanding theoretical formulation and presents some aspects of coding the theory with a toy problem.
The book also demonstrates how data assimilation systems are implemented in larger scale fluid dynamical problems related to the atmosphere, oceans, as well as the land surface and other geophysical situations. It offers a comprehensive presentation of the subject, from basic principles to advanced methods, such as Particle Filters and Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo methods. Additionally, Data Assimilation for the Geosciences: From Theory to Application covers the applications of data assimilation techniques in various disciplines of the geosciences, making the book useful to students, teachers, and research scientists.
