Assimilation of low-level wind in a high-resolution mesoscale model using the back and forth nudging algorithm

The performance of a new data assimilation algorithm called back and forth nudging (BFN) is evaluated using a high-resolution numerical mesoscale model and simulated wind observations in the boundary layer. This new algorithm, of interest for the assimilation of high-frequency observations provided...
