Sequential data assimilation techniques in oceanography

چکیده
We review recent developments of sequential data assimilation techniques used in oceanography to integrate spatio-temporal observations into numerical models describing physical and ecological dynamics. Theoretical aspects from the simple case of linear dynamics to the general case of nonlinear dynamics are described from a geostatistical point-of-view. Current methods derived from the Kalman filter are presented from the least complex to the most general and perspectives for nonlinear estimation by sequential importance resampling filters are discussed. Furthermore an extension of the ensemble Kalman filter to transformed Gaussian variables is presented and illustrated using a simplified ecological model. The described methods are designed for predicting over geographical regions using a high spatial resolution under the practical constraint of keeping computing time sufficiently low to obtain the prediction before the fact. Therefore the paper focuses on widely used and computationally efficient methods.

This thesis presents the use of sequential and variational methods for tracking applications in image se-quences. These techniques aim at estimating a system state from a dynamical model and a set of noisy andsparse observations. Sequential methods are usually used in computer vision community but limited to smalldimensional state spaces. In metorology or oceanography, data assimila...

Predicting the quality of water and air is a particular challenge for forecasting systems that support them. In order to represent the small-scale phenomena, a high-resolution model needs accurate capture of air and sea circulations, significant for forecasting environmental pollution. Data assimilation is one of the state of the art methods to be used for this purpose. Due to the importance of...

Traditional geostatistical space-time geostatistics is not able to take account of the generally strongly non-linear dynamics of multivariate space-time processes. To this effect physico-chemical transport models are in general more suitable. However, as the latter do not fully master the complexity of the processes they attempt to describe, either because of simplifying hypotheses or because t...
