Comparison of extended and ensemble based Kalman filters with low and high resolution primitive equation ocean models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Kalman filters are widely used for data assimilation into ocean models. The aim of this study is to discuss the relevance of these filters with high resolution ocean models. This was investigated through the comparison of two advanced Kalman filters: the singular evolutive extended Kalman (SEEK) filter and its ensemble-based variant, called SEIK filter. The two filters were implemented with the Princeton Ocean model (POM) considering a low spatial resolution configuration (Mediterranean sea model) and a very high one (Pagasitikos Gulf coastal model). It is shown that the two filters perform reasonably well when applied with the low resolution model. However, when the high resolution model is considered, the behavior of the SEEK filter seriously degrades because of strong model nonlinearities while the SEIK filter remains remarkably more stable. Based on the assumption of prior Gaussian distributions, the linear analysis step of the latter can still be improved though.

Data assimilation in high-resolution atmosphere or ocean models is complicated because of the nonlinearity of these models. Several methods to solve the problem have been presented, all having their own advantages and disadvantages. In this paper so-called particle methods are discussed, based on Sequential Importance Resampling (SIR). Reference is made to related methods, in particular to the ...

One of the most important issues in aerial gamma survey is the detection noise. Various...
متن کاملUsing Low-Rank Ensemble Kalman Filters for Data Assimilation with High Dimensional Imperfect Models
Low-rank square-root Kalman filters were developed for the efficient estimation of the state of high dimensional dynamical systems. These filters avoid the huge computational burden of the Kalman filter by approximating the filter’s error covariance matrices by low-rank matrices. Accounting for model errors with these filters would cancel the benefits of the low-rank approximation as the insert...

A new sequential data assimilation method is discussed.
