Adjoint retrieval of prognostic land surface model variables for an NWP model: Assimilation of ground surface temperature

Based on a 2-layer land surface model, a rather general variational data assimilation framework for estimatingmodel state variables is developed. The method minimizes the error of surface soil temperature predictionssubject to constraints imposed by the prediction model. Retrieval experiments for so...
