The linearisation of maps in data assimilation

For the purpose of linearising maps in data assimilation, the tangent-linear approximation is often used. We compare this with the use of the ‘best linear’ approximation, which is the linear map that minimises the mean square error. As a benchmark, we use minimum variance filte...
