Optimization of Salinity Data Assimilation for an Accurate Prediction of Density Variations during Marine Works

Abstract

Abstract Data assimilation improves the accuracy of numerical models by integrating observational data into model predictions, with the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) being a widely used technique. Despite its effectiveness, EnKF is often computationally ... Practical Applications This study presents a fast and reliable data assimilation method to improve predictions of salinity in estuaries by integrating field measurements into hydrodynamic models. During the tunnel immersion project in the Scheldt Estuary ...
