Preface
Since the 2007 Annual Meeting in Bangkok, the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) has hosted a series of sessions on data assimilation (DA), named “Yoshi K. Sasaki Symposium on Data Assimilation for Atmospheric, Oceanic and Hydrologic Applications.” We started this symposium after the first DA session in the 2005 AOGS meeting in Singapore to honor Dr. Yoshi Kazu Sasaki, the former George Lynn Cross Professor of the School of Meteorology at University of Oklahoma, for his lifelong contributions to DA. Yoshi was a pioneer in broaching the use of variational method to produce optimal initial conditions for numerical prediction. His approach is further developed and nowadays widely adopted in various prediction systems in geosciences. Unfortunately and sadly we lost this great scientist on March 12, 2015, and we decided to make this volume be a memorial to Dr. Sasaki. Yoshi had contributed superior chapters to the previous two volumes—both frontline works on tornado DA. The first volume of this book was published in March 2009 with 27 ch
