A Bayesian approach to Lagrangian data assimilation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lagrangian data arise from instruments that are carried by the flow in a fluid field. Assimilation of such data into ocean models presents a challenge due to the potential complexity of Lagrangian trajectories in relatively simple flow fields. We adopt a Bayesian perspective on this problem and thereby take account of the fully non-linear features of the

A Bayesian Approach to Data Assimilation
Data assimilation is formulated in a Bayesian context. This leads to a sampling problem in the space of continuous time paths. By writing down a density in path space, and conditioning on observations, it is possible to define a range of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods which sample from the desired distribution in path space, and thereby solve the data assimilation problem. The basic bu...
متن کاملSampling The Posterior: An Approach to Non-Gaussian Data Assimilation
The viewpoint taken in this paper is that data assimilation is fundamentally a statistical problem and that this problem should be cast in a Bayesian framework. In the absence of model error, the correct solution to the data assimilation problem is to find the posterior distribution implied by this Bayesian setting. Methods for dealing with data assimilation should then be judged by their abili...
متن کاملA Time-parallel Approach to Strong-constraint Four-dimensional Variational Data Assimilation
A parallel-in-time algorithm based on an augmented Lagrangian approach is proposed to solve four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation problems. The assimilation window is divided into multiple sub-intervals that allows to parallelize cost function and gradient computations. Solution continuity equations across interval boundaries are added as constraints. The augmented Lagrangian ...
متن کاملBayesian Data Fusion: a Reliable Approach for Descriptive Modeling of Ore Deposits
Recognition of ore deposit genesis is still a controversial challenge for economic geologists. Here, this task was addressed by the virtue of Bayesian data fusion (BDF) implementing available proofs: semi-schematic examples with two (Cu and Pb + Zn) and three (Cu, Pb + Zn and Ag) evidences. The data, in current paper are just concentrations of indicated elements, were collected from Angouran’s ...
متن کاملAssimilation of drifter observations for the reconstruction of the Eulerian circulation field
[1] In light of the increasing number of drifting buoys in the ocean and recent advances in the realism of ocean general circulation models toward oceanic forecasting, the problem of assimilation of Lagrangian observations data in Eulerian models is investigated. A new and general rigorous approach is developed based on optimal interpolation (OI) methods, which takes into account directly the L...
