چکیده

The time has come when ensemble-based Kalman filter data assimilation schemes can be considered for implementation on operational weather forecast systems in the foreseeable future. For the first time, an ensemble Kalman filter has been reported to break even with a sophisticated operational 3DVar system (Houtekamer et al 2004), to outperform the NCEP 3D-Var in reconstructing the state of the mid-troposphere from surface pressure observations (Whitaker et al. 2004), and to be efficient in assimilating simulated and real Dopplerradar observations of convective systems (Snyder and Zhang 2003; Zhang et al 2004; Dowell et al 2004). The present paper reports on the current status of the 4-dimensional Local Ensemble Kalman Filter data assimilation system (4D LEKF) developed by our interdisciplinary team at the University of Maryland. Our plan has been to develop a largely model independent analysis system through completation of the following tasks:

Distance Dependent Localization Approach in Oil Reservoir History Matching: A Comparative Study

To perform any economic management of a petroleum reservoir in real time, a predictable and/or updateable model of reservoir along with uncertainty estimation ability is required. One relatively recent method is a sequential Monte Carlo implementation of the Kalman filter: the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF). The EnKF not only estimate uncertain parameters but also provide a recursive estimat...

Enhanced Predictions of Tides and Surges through Data Assimilation (TECHNICAL NOTE)

The regional waters in Singapore Strait are characterized by complex hydrodynamic phenomena as a result of the combined effect of three large water bodies viz. the South China Sea, the Andaman Sea, and the Java Sea. This leads to anomalies in water levels and generates residual currents. Numerical hydrodynamic models are generally used for predicting water levels in the ocean and seas. But thei...

Doppler and bearing tracking using fuzzy adaptive unscented Kalman filter

The topic of Doppler and Bearing Tracking (DBT) problem is to achieve a target trajectory using the Doppler and Bearing measurements. The difficulty of DBT problem comes from the nonlinearity terms exposed in the measurement equations. Several techniques were studied to deal with this topic, such as the unscented Kalman filter. Nevertheless, the performance of the filter depends directly on the...

A New Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter for a Class of Nonlinear Systems

This paper proposes a new adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) for a class of nonlinear systems perturbed by noise which is not necessarily additive. The proposed filter is adaptive against the uncertainty in the process and measurement noise covariances. This is accomplished by deriving two recursive updating rules for the noise covariances, these rules are easy to implement and reduce the n...

Implementation of a Low- Cost Multi- IMU by Using Information Form of a Steady State Kalman Filter

In this paper, a homogenous multi-sensor fusion method is used to estimate the trueangular rate and acceleration with a combination of four low cost (< 10$) MEMS Inertial MeasurementUnits (IMU). An information form of steady state Kalman filter is designed to fuse the output of four lowaccuracy sensors to reduce the noise effect by the square root of the number of sensors. A hardware isimplemen...
