Short summary
Deep learning has been used to discover new data assimilation methods to track chaotic dynamical systems. Strikingly, these data assimilation networks can match the accuracy of ensemble-based methods using only a single state forecast. This paper first investigates the reasons for this efficacy, and then shows that their performance in more nonlinear regimes matches that of the most accurate scalable data assimilation methods, with greater efficiency and robustness.
