Topic: Non-Gaussian Data Assimilation

Friday, January 20, 2023 from 7-9 UTC

Organisers and Conveners: Steven Fletcher (CIRA/CSU, US), James Taylor (RIKEN, Japan)

One of the underlying assumptions underpinning many data assimilation schemes (including variational, Kalman filter, or ensemble-based) is that the background, observational and model errors are Gaussian in distribution. However, this assumption is often false, with errors taking a non-Gaussian distribution. In this session, we invite all contributions to the development of non-Gaussian DA.
