The smoother extension of the nonlinear ensemble transform filter

The recently-proposed nonlinear ensemble transform filter (NETF) is extended to a fixed-lag smoother. The NETF approximates Bayes’ theorem by applying a square root update. The smoother (NETS) is derived and formulated in a joint framework with the filter. The new smoother method is evaluated using...
