8 Thomas Bayes ( )

9 Bayes Theorem Conditional probability: p( z y) = p( y z) p( z) p( y) (Wikle and Berliner, 2007) Posterior distribution ( likelihood ) Data distribution Prior Marginal ( ( ) y x R 1 ( y x )) ( ( ) ( )) z zb D z zb = c exp 1 2 H( ) H( ) exp 1 2 Maximum likelihood estimate: identify the minimum of 1 1 J z = z z D z z + y H x R y H x 2 2 T T ( ) ( ) 1 1 NL b ( b) ( ( )) ( ( )) which maximizes p(z y).

10 Variational Data Assimilation Conditional Probability: P( z y) exp J NL ( ) 1 1 J z = z z D z z + y H x R y H x 2 2 T T ( ) ( ) 1 1 NL b ( b) ( ( )) ( ( )) Observation error covariance D= diag( Bx, Bb, Bf, Q) Background error covariance J NL is called the cost or penalty function. Problem: Find z=z a that minimizes J (i.e. maximizes P) using principles of variational calculus. z a is the maximum likelihood or minimum variance estimate.

11 Incremental Formulation f b (t), B f δz ( δx (0), ε ( t), ε ( t), η( t)) T T T T = b f b b (t), B b Prior initial condition increment boundary condition increment forcing increment corrections for model error (Courtier et al., 1994) x b (0), B x 1 T 1 1 ( ) T 1 z D z G z d R ( G z d) J = δ δ + δ δ 2 2 D= diag( Bx, Bb, Bf, Q) Prior (background) error covariance Tangent Linear Model sampled at obs points Obs Error Cov. Innovation d = y H ( xb) (H=linearized obs operator)

12 Incremental Formulation f b (t), B f δz ( δx (0), ε ( t), ε ( t), η( t)) T T T T = b f b b (t), B b Prior initial condition increment boundary condition increment forcing increment corrections for model error x b (0), B x 1 T 1 1 ( ) T 1 z D z G z d R ( G z d) J = δ δ + δ δ 2 2 The minimum of J is identified iteratively by searching for J/ δz=0

13 Incremental Formulation f b (t), B f δz ( δx (0), ε ( t), ε ( t), η( t)) T T T T = b f b b (t), B b Prior initial condition increment boundary condition increment forcing increment corrections for model error x b (0), B x Assumptions: z = z + δ z b (i) δ z zb M = Tangent Linear Model (ii) x(t)= xb (t)+ δ x(t) (iii) δ x(t) Mδ z H = Tangent Linear H (iv) H δ x(t) H Mδz= Gδz

15 z Primal Space Primal vs Dual Formulation Vector of increments Model space y Observation vector Observation space z Dual Space

16 The Solution Analysis: z = z + Kd a b Gain matrix (dual form): T T -1 K = DG ( GDG + R) Gain matrix (primal form): 1 T 1 1 T 1 K = ( D + G R G) G R

17 Gain (dual): Two Spaces T T -1 K = DG ( GDG + R) Gain (primal): N obs N obs 1 T 1 1 T 1 K = ( D + G R G) G R N obs N model N model N model

18 Two Spaces G maps from model space to observation space G T maps from observation space to model space

19 Iterative Solution of Primal Formulation (define IS4DVAR, is4dvar_ocean.h) Recall the incremental cost function: 1 T 1 1 T 1 J = δz D δz+ Gδz d R Gδz d 2 2 Jb ( ) ( ) Jo At the minimum of J we have J δ z = 0 z = D z+ G R G z d 1 T 1 J δ δ δ ( ) Given J and J/ δz, we can identify the δz that minimizes J
