2 Outline 1 Weak constraint 4D-Var 2 Experimental design 3 Numerical results 4 Conclusions
3 Four-dimensional variational assimilation (4D-Var) The 4D-Var data assimilation problem can be expressed as the minimization of J[x 0 ] = 1 2 (x 0 x b ) T B 1 (x 0 x b )+ 1 2 N i=0 (H i [x i ] y i ) T R 1 i (H i [x i ] y i ) subject to the dynamical system x i+1 = M i (x i ) where x b y i A priori (background) estimate Observation B Background error covariance matrix R i Observation error covariance matrix Observation operator H i
4 We consider the model as a weak constraint x i+1 = M i (x i )+η i, η i N(0,Q i )
5 We consider the model as a weak constraint State formulation x i+1 = M i (x i )+η i, η i N(0,Q i ) J(x 0,x 1,...,x N ) = J b +J o + 1 N 1 (x i+1 M i (x i )) T Q 1 i (x i+1 M i (x i )) 2 i=0
6 We consider the model as a weak constraint State formulation x i+1 = M i (x i )+η i, η i N(0,Q i ) J(x 0,x 1,...,x N ) = J b +J o + 1 N 1 (x i+1 M i (x i )) T Q 1 i (x i+1 M i (x i )) 2 Error formulation i=0 J(x 0,η 0,...,η N 1 ) = J b +J o N 1 i=0 η T i Q 1 i η i
7 Condition number The inner loop is solved using a gradient minimization method. The expected accuracy of the numerical solution and the speed of convergence are both determined by the condition number of the Hessian. Condition number κ(a) = A A 1 In the matrix 2-norm, for a symm. pos. def. matrix A, we have κ(a) = λ max (A)/λ min (A) In 4D-Var the condition number of the Hessian matrix determines convergence properties.

11 Aims How does the condition number of the Hessian change with different input parameters? How does this affect convergence of the minimisation? Note: Theoretical bounds on the condition number have been obtained. Here we just illustrate the effects with numerical results.
12 Previous results Previously we have shown for the strong constraint case (preconditioned by B 1/2 ) that the bounds on the condition number will increase as
13 Previous results Previously we have shown for the strong constraint case (preconditioned by B 1/2 ) that the bounds on the condition number will increase as the observations become more accurate; the observations spacing decreases; the background becomes less accurate; the background error correlation lengthscales increase. (Haben et al. (2014) Tellus, Haben et al. (2014) Comput. Fluids)
14 Numerical model We consider results in the context of a simple system, the 1D advection equation with periodic boundary conditions: with u t +a u x = 0 u(x,0) = be (x c)2 2d 2. The model is discretized using an upwind numerical scheme with N = 50 grid points, a = 1.
15 Assimilation scheme Background error covariance matrix B = σ 2 b C SOAR, with σ b = 0.1,L(C) = 2 x. Model error covariance matrix Q i = σ 2 qc LAP, with σ q = 0.05,L(C) = x,. Observation error covariance matrix R i = σ 2 oi, with σ o = Observations every 2 grid points and every 5 time steps in 50 time step window. x = 0.01, t = 0.02.
