Short summary
This work introduces and evaluates two new tandem data assimilation techniques. The first uses two synchronised forward model runs before a single adjoint model run to consistently increase the precision of the parameter estimation. The second uses a lower-resolution model with adjoint equations to drive a higher-resolution target model through data assimilation with no loss in precision compared to data assimilation without tandem methods.
