The conditioning of least-squares problems in variational data assimilation

In variational data assimilation a least-squares objective function is minimised to obtain the most likely state of a dynamical system. This objective function combines observation and prior (or background) data weighted by their respective error statistics. In numerical weather prediction, data ass...
