Abstract:An essential component of four-dimensional variational data assimilation is the tangent linear model (TLM), which is a linearized version of the full nonlinear forecast model. A relatively new approach to calculating the TLM is a regression model called the Ensemble Tangent Linear Model (ETLM). Here we validate the ETLM for linearizing a nonorographic gravity wave drag (NGWD) sub-grid scale model. The regression is applied to an ensemble created by perturbing the atmospheric state and calculating one time step… Show more
