Summary	The objective of this project is to develop mathematical concepts and numerical algorithms for the evaluation and optimal design of sensor configuration in data assimilations. The technical objectives include: (1) applying concepts of observability to the problem of data assimilation and numerically test the concepts using a mid-size model; (2) developing computational algorithms that are scalable to large size problems; (3) developing problem formulation and computational algorithms for maximizing the observability of forecast models by finding optimal sensor locations.
