A fast forward model for the assimilation of radiances from the EOS-MLS

In this thesis the idea of using neural networks as a forward model for the EOS-MLS (Earth Observation System – Microwave Limb Sounder) is considered for a direct assimilation scheme. Neural networks are a type of non-linear regression technique that can provide fast, accurate results and are used e...
