Estimation of Observation Impact using the NAVDAS Adjoint System
Room 6A
An adjoint-based procedure for assessing the impact of observations on
short-range forecast error in numerical weather prediction is described.
The method is computationally inexpensive and allows observation impact to
be partitioned for any set or subset of observations, by instrument type,
observed variable, geographic region, vertical level or other category.
