| Summary: | <p>This article lays out the fundamentals of data assimilation as used in
biogeochemistry. It demonstrates that all of the methods in widespread
use within the field are special cases of the underlying Bayesian
formalism. Methods differ in the assumptions they make and information
they provide on the probability distributions used in Bayesian
calculations. It thus provides a basis for comparison and choice among
these methods. It also provides a standardised notation for the
various quantities used in the field.</p> |
