EOS-COST School on Data Assimilation and Data Analysis Methods (EOS-COST DAAM)

Posted on

EOS  COST

The EU COST Action “Evaluation of Ocean Syntheses” (EOS) is organizing a training school on data assimilation and data analysis techniques from 4 to 14 April 2016 in Lecce (Italy).

In the fields of oceanography, meteorology and climatology, the data analysis and data assimilation techniques combine  in  an optimal way different data sets,  possibly using dynamical constraints defined by numerical models. These techniques are central to operational atmospheric and oceanographic analysis systems and climatological data analysis. The EOS-COST DAAM School will provide training in fundamental methodology, standard techniques and several state of the art applications. Theoretical lectures will be followed by practical exercises. The school will cover Bayesian, variational and ensemble techniques, and will present applications with operational systems and climatological data analysis.

Topics

  • Fundamentals of combining physical data in an optimal way
  • Bayesian and Ensemble methods
  • Variational methods
  • Hybrid methods (ensemble + variational)
  • Reduced order methods
  • Optimal interpolation
  • Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis (DIVA)
  • Application of DIVA
