A Projection Method for the Estimation of Error Covariance Matrices for Variational Data Assimilation in Ocean Modelling

Data assimilation methods are an invaluable tool for operational ocean models. These methods are often based on a variational approach and require the knowledge of the spatial covariances of the background errors (differences between the numerical model and the true values) and the observation error...
