Surrogate-based ensemble data assimilation for reducing uncertainty in large-eddy simulation of microscale pollutant dispersion

This paper introduces and evaluates a novel data assimilation framework for atmospheric pollutant dispersion. The use of a surrogate model reduces the computational burden and makes it possible to inestigate in-depth the system observability.

EnKF workshop 2024: Reduced-cost EnKF for parameter estimation of microscale atmospheric pollutant dispersion models

In this presentation, we implement and validate a reduced-cost EnKF that estimate meteorological forcing parameters, such as wind direction, for large-eddy simulations of microscale pollutant dispersion.
