Schematic diagram showing the vertical coupling between upper and lower level waves in the Eady model. The 4D-Var experiments observe the lower level wave and aim to retrieve the unobserved upper level wave and the basic state vertical shear.
The 2D Eady model is combined with 4D-Var data assimilation and tested on temperature field observations taken at two different time intervals. The dynamics of the model interpolate through the observations in both space and time, while filtering observational noise.
The code can be found here, while detailed documentation about the model can be found here. You should look at the ReadME file for further information on installation of the code.
