The interface of data assimilation and machine learning
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Data assimilation (DA) is the process of combining forecasts from a model with observations in order to optimally estimate the state of a system. This is critical for chaotic systems, such as the atmosphere, since if observations are not continually assimilated the model will quickly lose skill. DA is routinely performed (usually every 6 hours) at operational forecasting centres around the world. In this article we discuss the interface of machine learning (ML) and DA. This is still an emerging and quickly developing field, and this article tries to give an overview of some of the main topics and methods.
