Particle filters for geophysical applications
30 Apr 2015 | Presentations | Contributor(s): Mary Lou Zeeman
Avoiding degeneracy is a crucial challenge for particle filters. Results have shown that the number of particles scales exponentially with respect to the number of independent observations. In this talk I will review attempts to counteract this phenomenon by exploiting proposal densities. I will...

Toward a hybrid particle-ensemble Kalman filter for assimilating data from Lagrangian instruments into high dimensional models
30 Apr 2015 | Presentations | Contributor(s): Mary Lou Zeeman
Presented by Elaine Spiller on 3-26-15Abstract:We discuss a recently proposed hybrid particle-ensemble Kalman filter for assimilating Lagrangian data, and apply it to a high-dimensional quasi-geostrophic ocean model. Effectively the hybrid filter applies a particle filter to the highly nonlinear,...

Emulators in climate science. Uncertainty, sensitivity, calibration and more
30 Apr 2015 | Presentations | Contributor(s): Mary Lou Zeeman
An emulator or a surrogate is a statistical approximation of a complex numerical model. Emulators are fast to run and include a measure of their own uncertainty. This makes them suitable for a number of applications in climate science. Emulators were originally devised for uncertainty...
