Exploring strategies for coupled 4D-Var data assimilation using an idealised atmosphere–ocean model

Operational forecasting centres are currently developing data assimilation systems for coupled atmosphere–ocean models. Strongly coupled assimilation, in which a single assimilation system is applied to a coupled model, presents significant technical and scientific challenges. Hence weakly coupled a...
