Came here to say this -- looks like the data assimilation is still done the "old fashioned" way. I wonder how long that will last?
There are multiple efforts and a good number of VC working on AI DA system. DA is fundamentally a hand-crafted optimization process just like NN. I once reimplemented an EnKF in pytorch and it works amazingly fast. But our observations are so dirty and sparse. ECMWF tuned their system so well. NOAA definitely has potential being even better, but no hope any soon future IMHO.
