Data Assimilation for the Geosciences: From Theory to Application, Second Edition brings together all of the mathematical and statistical background knowledge needed to formulate data assimilation systems into one place. It includes practical exercises enabling readers to apply theory in both a theoretical formulation as well as teach them how to code the theory with toy problems to verify their understanding. It also demonstrates how data assimilation systems are implemented in larger scale fluid dynamical problems related to land surface, the atmosphere, ocean and other geophysical situations. The second edition of Data Assimilation for the Geosciences has been revised with up to date research that is going on in data assimilation, as well as how to apply the techniques. The new edition features an introduction of how machine learning and artificial intelligence are interfacing and aiding data assimilation. In addition to appealing to students and researchers across the geosciences, this now also appeals to new students and scientists in the field of data assimilation as it will now have even more information on the techniques, research, and applications, consolidated into one source.

Steven J. Fletcher is a Research Scientist III at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University, where he is the lead scientist on the development of non-Gaussian based data assimilation theory for variational, PSAS, and hybrid systems. He has worked extensively with the Naval Research Laboratory in Monterey in development of their data assimilation system, as well as working with the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA)’s Environmental Prediction Centers (EMC) data assimilation system. Dr. Fletcher is extensively involved with the American Geophysical Union (AGU)’s Fall meeting planning committee, having served on the committee since 2013 as the representative of the Nonlinear Geophysics section. He has also been the lead organizer and science program committee member for the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation Summer Colloquium on Satellite Data Assimilation since 2016. Dr. Fletcher is the author of Data Assimilation for the Geosciences: From Theory to Application (Elsevier, 2017). In 2017 Dr. Fletcher became a fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society.
