Identification of Optimal Topography by Variational Data Assimilation
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of the data assimilation technique to identify optimal topography is discussed in frames of time-dependent motion governed by non-linear barotropic ocean model. Assimilation of artificially generated data allows to measure the influence of various error sources and to classify the impact of noise that is present in observational data and model parameters. The choice of assimilation window is discussed. Assimilating noisy data with longer windows provides higher accuracy of identified topography. The topography identified once by data assimilation can be successfully used for other model runs that start from other initial conditions and are situated in other parts of the model’s attractor.

On variational data assimilation for 1D and 2D fluvial hydraulics
We address two problems related to variational data assimilation (VDA) as applied to river hydraulics (1D and 2D shallow water models). In real cases, available observations are very sparse (especially during flood events). Generally, they are very few measures of elevation at gauging stations. The first goal of the present study is to estimate accurately some parameters such as the inflow disc...
متن کاملIdentification of an optimal derivatives approximation by variational data assimilation
Variational data assimilation technique applied to identification of optimal approximations of derivatives near boundary is discussed in frames of one-dimensional wave equation. Simplicity of the equation and of its numerical scheme allows us to discuss in detail as the development of the adjoint model and assimilation results. It is shown what kind of errors can be corrected by this control an...

Variational data assimilation technique applied to the identification of the optimal discretization of interpolation operators and derivatives in the nodes adjacent to the boundary of the domain is discussed in frames of the linear shallow water model. The advantage of controlling the discretization of operators near boundary rather than boundary conditions is shown. Assimilating data produced ...

متن کاملIdentification of equivalent topography in an open channel flow using Lagrangian data assimilation
We present a Lagrangian data assimilation experiment in an open channel flow above a broad-crested weir. The observations consist of trajectories of particles transported by the flow and extracted from a video film, in addition to classical water level measurements. However, the presence of vertical recirculations on both sides of the weir actually conducts to the identification of an equivalen...
