When nonlinearity is of importance , there exist distinct difference between CNOP and LSV represented by two facts: a. The initial patterns are different Note: LSV stands for the optimal growing direction , but CNOP the “pattern” b. Linear and nonlinear evolutions of CNOP and LSV are different.

2. Adaptive Observation • FASTEX (Snyder 1996) • NORPEX (Langland et al.1999) • WSR (Szunyogh et al. 2000,2002) • DOTSTAR (Wu et al.2005) • NATReC (Petersen et al. 2006 ) • THORPEX (in process)
Methods used in Adaptive Observations • SV (Palmer et al.1998) • Adjoint Sensitivity (Ancell and Mass 2006) • ET (Bishop and Toth 1999) • EKF (Hamill and Snyder 2002) • ETKF (Bishop et al. 2001) • Quasi-inverse Linear Method (Pu et al.1997) • ADSSV (Wu et al. 2007)
The sensitive areas identified by different methods may differ much. Which one is better is still in discussion (Majumdar et al.2006). • Conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP), which is a natural extension of linear singular vector (SV) into the nonlinear regime, is in the advantage of considering nonlinearity(Mu et al, 2003; Mu and Zhang,2006).

Conclusions The pattern of CNOP may differ from that of FSV, and its nonlinear evolutions are larger than those of FSV, as well as the loc CNOP and –FSV. The forecasts are more sensitive to the CNOP kind errors than the FSV kind. It is indicated that reduction of the CNOP kind errors benefits more than reduction of the FSV kind errors.
