Four-dimensional ensemble variational data assimilation and the unstable subspace
The performance of (ensemble) Kalman filters used for data assimilation in the geosciences critically depends on the dynamical properties of the evolution model. A key aspect is that the error covariance matrix is asymptotically supported by the unstable–neutral subspace only, i.e. it is spanned by...
