The impact of nonlinearity in Lagrangian data assimilation

The focus of this paper is on how two main manifestations of nonlinearity in low-dimensional systems – shear around a center fixed point (nonlinear center) and the differential divergence of trajectories passing by a saddle (nonlinear saddle) – strongly affect data assimilation. The impact is felt t...
