SLIDE 22 Linear ensemble transform filters Optimal transportation
Chosing a coupling that maximizes the correlation between forecast and analysis leads to an optimal transport problem with cost J({tij} =
zf
i − zf j 2tij.
This leads to the celebrated Monge-Kantorovitch problem: π∗
Z f Z a(zf, za) = arg
inf
πZf Za(zf ,za)∈Π(πZf ,πZa) EZ f Z a
as M → ∞ (McCann, 1996, SR, 2013). Let us denote the minimize by T ∗, then the ETPF is given by za
j = M M
zf
i t∗ ij .
The coefficients sij = Mt∗
ij are now entirely deterministic.
