'Comparison' part in 4d Var.

The ATOVS brightness temperature (radiance) observation and model observation made at t=7 are the following:

  • Observation: 229.52 K brightness T
  • 'Model' observation: 229.76 K brightness T
Q: How should we adjust x(t=0) to be consistent with this observation?


A: Find the gradient (with respect to each element of x(t=0)) of the cost function that includes this observation and adjust x(t=0) in the 'downhill' direction.


Use the adjoint method ...
