Data assimilation in a sparsely observed one-dimensional modeled MHD system

A one dimensional non-linear magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) system has been introduced to test a sequential optimal interpolation assimilation technique that uses a Monte-Carlo method to calculate the forecast error covariance. An ensemble of 100 model runs with perturbed initial conditions are used to...
