Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter: An Efficient Scheme for Assimilating Atmospheric Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an efficient variation of the Local Ensemble Kalman Filter (Ott et al. 2002, 2004) and the results of perfect model tests with the Lorenz-96 model. This scheme is locally analogous to performing the Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (Bishop et al. 2001). We also include a four-dimensional extension of the scheme to allow for asynchronous observations.

Assimilating Nonlocal Observations using a Local Ensemble Kalman Filter
Many ensemble Kalman filter data assimilation schemes benefit from spatial localization, often in both the horizontal and vertical coordinates. On the other hand, satellite observations are often sensitive to the dynamics over a broad layer of the atmosphere; that is, the observation operator that maps the model state to the observed satellite radiances is a nonlocal function of the state. Simi...
متن کاملEakf-cmaq: Development and Initial Evaluation of an Ensemble Adjustment Kalman Filter Based Data Assimilation for Co
An integrated approach to modeling atmospheric chemistry with trace gas data assimilation is a relatively new focus of the atmospheric chemistry modeling community. It is expected that the predictive capability of CTMs can be significantly improved by assimilating measurements of key trace gases from satellite-based platforms and surface monitors. Ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF) method...
متن کاملA Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter Data Assimilation System for the Global FSU Atmospheric Model
Data assimilation is the process by which measurements and model predictions are combined to obtain an accurate representation of the state of the modeled system. We implemented a data assimilation scheme called LETKF (local ensemble transform Kalman filter) with FSUGSM (Florida State University Global Spectral Model) and made an experiment to evaluate the initial condition generated to numeric...

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is designed to investigate its application for data assimilation. This procedure provides an appropriated initial condition to the atmosphere to weather forecasting. Data assimilation is a method to insert observational information into a physicalmathematical model. The goal here is the process for assimilating meteorological observations. The numerical experi...
