Interpreting adjoint and ensemble sensitivity toward the development of optimal observation targeting strategies

Two general methods, adjoint or singular vector methods, and ensemble-based methods, have been previously investigated to identify locations where observations would have a significant positive impact on a numerical weather model forecast. In this paper, we perform a basic comparison of targeting re...
