On the sensitivity of field reconstruction and prediction using 1 Empirical Orthogonal Functions derived from gappy data

چکیده
4 Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) Analysis is commonly used in the climate sciences 5 and elsewhere to describe, reconstruct, and predict highly dimensional data fields. When 6 data contain a high percentage of missing values (i.e. “gappy”), alternate approaches must 7 be used in order to correctly derive EOFs. The aims of this paper are to assess the accuracy 8 of several EOF approaches in the reconstruction and prediction of gappy data fields, using 9 the Galapagos Archipelago as a case study example. EOF approaches included least-squares 10 estimation via a covariance matrix decomposition (LSEOF), “Data Interpolating Empiri11 cal Orthogonal Functions” (DINEOF), and a novel approach called “Recursively-Subtracted 12 Empirical Orthogonal Functions” (RSEOF). Model-derived data of historical surface Chloro13 phyll a concentrations and sea surface temperature, combined with a mask of gaps from 14 historical remote sensing estimates, allowed for the creation of “true” and “observed” fields 15 by which to gauge the performance of EOF approaches. Only DINEOF and RSEOF were 16 found to be appropriate for gappy data reconstruction and prediction. DINEOF proved to be 17 the superior approach in terms of accuracy, especially for noisy data with a high estimation 18 error, although RSEOF may be preferred for larger data fields due to its relatively faster 19 computation time. 20

Aerodynamic Data Reconstruction and Inverse Design Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition
The application of proper orthogonal decomposition for incomplete (gappy) data for compressible external aerodynamic problems has been demonstrated successfully in this paper for the first time. Using this approach, it is possible to construct entire aerodynamic flowfields from the knowledge of computed aerodynamic flow data or measured flow data specified on the aerodynamic surface, thereby de...
متن کاملEOF‐based constrained sensor placement and field reconstruction from noisy ocean measurements: Application to Nantucket Sound
[1] Sensor placement at the extrema of empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) is efficient and leads to accurate reconstruction of the ocean state from a limited number of measurements. In this paper, we develop important new extensions of this approach that optimize sensor placement to avoid redundant measurements, employ imperfect EOF modes, and take into account measurement errors. We use the...
