Toward a weak constraint operational 4D-Var system: application to the Burgers' equation

Strong constraint (perfect model assumption) 4D-Var algorithms are increasingly used for synoptic and global scale atmospheric data assimilation at operational numerical weather prediction centers around the world. The data assimilation windows currently range from 6 hours to 12 hours at different c...
