Data Assimilation for the Geosciences: From Theory to Application, Second Edition brings together all of the mathematical and statistical background knowledge needed to formulate data assimilation systems into one place. It includes practical exercises enabling readers to apply theory in both a theoretical formulation as well as teach them how to code the theory with toy problems to verify their understanding. It also demonstrates how data assimilation systems are implemented in larger scale fluid dynamical problems related to land surface, the atmosphere, ocean and other geophysical situations. The second edition of Data Assimilation for the Geosciences has been revised with up to date research that is going on in data assimilation, as well as how to apply the techniques. The new edition features an introduction of how machine learning and artificial intelligence are interfacing and aiding data assimilation. In addition to appealing to students and researchers across the geosciences, this now also appeals to new students and scientists in the field of data assimilation as it will now have even more information on the techniques, research, and applications, consolidated into one source.
