Efficiency of Reduced-Order, Time-Dependent Adjoint Data Assimilation Approaches

چکیده
Applications of adjoint data assimilation, which is designed to bring an ocean circulation model into consistency with ocean observations, are computationally demanding. To improve the convergence rate of an optimization, reduced-order optimization methods that reduce the size of the control vector by projecting it onto a limited number of basis functions were suggested. In this paper, we show that such order reduction can indeed speed up the initial convergence rate of an assimilation effort in the eastern subtropical North Atlantic using in situ and satellite data as constraints. However, an improved performance of the optimization was only obtained with a hybrid approach where the optimization is started in a reduced subspace but is continued subsequently using the full control space. In such an experiment about 50% of the computational cost can be saved as compared to the optimization in the full control space. Although several order-reduction approaches seem feasible, the best result was obtained by projecting the control vector onto Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs) computed from a set of adjusted control vectors estimated previously from an optimization using the same model configuration.

Efficiency of a POD-based reduced second-order adjoint model in 4D-Var data assimilation
Order reduction strategies aim to alleviate the computational burden of the four-dimensional variational data assimilation by performing the optimization in a low-order control space. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) approach to model reduction is used to identify a reduced-order control space for a two-dimensional global shallow water model. A reduced second-order adjoint (SOA) model ...

This work studies reduced order modeling (ROM) approaches to speed up the solution of variational data assimilation problems with large scale nonlinear dynamical models. It is shown that a key ingredient for a successful reduced order solution to inverse problems is the consistency of the reduced order Karush-KuhnTucker conditions with respect to the full optimality conditions. In particular, a...
متن کاملA reduced-order approach to four-dimensional variational data assimilation using proper orthogonal decomposition
Four dimensional variational data assimilation (4DVAR) is a powerful tool for data assimilation in meteorology and oceanography. However, a major hurdle in use of 4DVAR for realistic general circulation models is the dimension of the control space (generally equal to the size of the model state variable and typically of order 10 − 10) and the high computational cost in computing the cost functi...

A novel proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) inverse model, developed for an adaptive mesh ocean model (the Imperial College Ocean Model, ICOM), is presented here. The new POD model is validated 11 using the Munk gyre flow test case, where it inverts for initial conditions. The optimized velocity fields exhibit overall good agreement with those generated by the full model. The correlation betw...
