Controllability, not chaos, key criterion for ocean state estimation
The Lagrange multiplier method for combining observations and models (i.e., the adjoint method or <q>4D-VAR</q>) has been avoided or approximated when the numerical model is highly nonlinear or chaotic. This approach has been adopted primarily due to difficulties in the initialization...
