    Data assimilation and the adjoint method: an overview
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 1991-05) Taylor, Gerald D., author; Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (Fort Collins, Colo.), publisher
    In this note a general description of the application of the adjoint method for four dimensional data assimilation is given. The main focus of this discussion is that this method when applied to a discrete model is simply an application of the chair rule of multivariate calculus to compute the gradient of a real valued function of several variables. Several different time differencing schemes are considered, as well as, two examples of discrete models.
