Nested sampling particle filter for nonlinear data assimilation
This paper presented a completely new data-assimilation technique for updating the states of a computer model with sparse observations, to improve predictability. The approach was demonstrated on a challenging problem representing the dynamics of a climate model without assuming the states as Gaussian. This approach can also be applied to nuclear disposal sites, contaminant transport and oil recovery problem. This paper is a result of a multi-disciplinary, international collaboration (UT-Austin, KAUST). This work was funded through the KAUST UT-Austin Academic Excellence Alliance Program (UT-Austin office of sponsored projects OSP-200702891, $3,001,332).
