One of the main reasons we cannot tell what the weather will be
tomorrow is that we do not know accurately enough what the weather
is today. Mathematically speaking, numerical weather prediction
(NWP) is an initial-value problem for a system of nonlinear partial
differential equations in which the necessary initial values are
known only incompletely and inaccurately. Data at the initial time
of a numerical forecast can be supplemented, however, by
observations of the atmos phere over a time interval preceding it.
New observing systems, in particular polar-orbiting and
geostationary satellites, which are providing observations
continuously in time, make is absolutely necess ary to find new and
more satisfactory methods of assimilating meteorological
observations - for the dual purpose of defining atmospheric states
and of issuing forecasts from the states thus defined. FUndamental
progress in this area has been made in recent years and this book
attempts to give a review and some suggestions for further
improvements in the field of meteorological data assimila tion
methods. The European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts
(ECMWF) every year organises seminars for the benefit of
meteorologists and geophysicists of the ECMWF Member states. The
1980 Seminar was devoted to data assimilation methods, and this
book contains selected lectures from that seminar. The purpose of
the seminar was twofold: it was intended to give a basic
introduction to the subject, as well as an overview of the latest
developments in the field."
