The future international Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission, planned for
launch in 2021, will make high-resolution 2D observations of sea-surface height using SAR …

We commonly refer to state estimation theory in geosciences as data assimilation (DA). This
term encompasses the entire sequence of operations that, starting from the observations of a …

Nudging is an important data assimilation technique where partial field measurements are
used to control the evolution of a dynamical system and/or to reconstruct the entire phase …

Data assimilation combines observation data and the physical model to provide an estimate
of the state which is more accurate than what could be obtained by using just the data or the …

Reduced rank nonlinear filters are increasingly utilized in data assimilation of geophysical
flows but often require a set of ensemble forward simulations to estimate forecast …

This self-contained book presents interdisciplinary methods for integrating experimental and
computational information in many scientific and engineering areas. It explains how to …

Advancements in science and technology lead to the development of different sensors that
measure precipitation, an intrinsic component of the hydrological cycle. As conventional …

Let A be the generator of a strongly continuous semigroup T on the Hilbert space X, and let
C be a linear operator from D (A) to another Hilbert space Y (possibly unbounded with …

The ultimate purpose of environmental studies is the forecast of its natural evolution. A
prerequisite before a prediction is to retrieve at best the state of the environment. Data …

Viscoelastic support has been previously established as a valuable modeling ingredient to
represent the effect of surrounding tissues and organs in a fluid-structure vascular model. In …
