The “Representer” (Bennett) is a measure of the covariance/correlation between ocean state variables and a pattern of observationsMethod: integrate the adjoint model backwards forced at observational locations, then the tangent linear model forward to carry “information” to analysis/forecast times Cost function: Covariance between J and temperature, , reflects the influence of glider observation At time = finish of glider mission
Cost function: Covariance between J and temperature, , reflects the influence of glider observation At time = 5 days after finish of glider mission
