A parameterized-background data-weak approach to variational data assimilation: formulation, analysis, and application to acoustics

We present a parameterized-background data-weak (PBDW) formulation of the variational data assimilation (state estimation) problem for systems modeled by partial differential equations. The main contributions are a constrained optimization weak framework informed by the notion of experimentally obse...
