Bounded and categorized: targeting data assimilation for sea ice fractional coverage and nonnegative quantities in a single-column multi-category sea ice model
A rigorous exploration of the sea ice data assimilation (DA) problem using a framework specifically developed for rapid, interpretable hypothesis testing is presented.In many applications, DA is implemented to constrain a modeled estimate of a state with observations.The sea ice DA application is complicated by the wide range of spatiotemporal scal
