Description:

The Baer-Tribbia non-linear modal initialization method implies that large-scale meteorological analyses should be confined to analysis of slow mode fields. An idealized multi-variate optimum interpolation analysis is shown to produce grid point results that contain only slow modes. Variational analysis with a slow mode constraint is therefore unnecessary.
