Description

This is a big update for the incremental, strong constraint, 4DVar data assimilation algorithm (IS4DVAR). A new preconditioning conjugate gradient algorithm based on the Lanczos methodology is implemented. Two versions of the preconditioning are available:

  • Spectral limited-memory preconditioner (Fisher, 1998)
  • Ritz limited-memory preconditioning (Tshimanga et al., 2008)

Many thanks to Andy Moore for his help on implementing and testing the new algorithm.

Andy wrote a nice technical description and usage guidelines in wikiROMS for the new algorithm.
