2022, 41(2): 80-90. doi: 10.1007/s13131-021-1876-1
Abstract:
This paper presents an improved approach based on the equivalent-weights particle filter (EWPF) that uses the proposal density to effectively improve the traditional particle filter. The proposed approach uses historical data to calculate statistical...
A two-stage inflation method in parameter estimation to compensate for constant parameter evolution in Community Earth System Model
Zheqi Shen, Youmin Tang
2022, 41(2): 91-102. doi: 10.1007/s13131-021-1856-5
Abstract:
Parameter estimation is defined as the process to adjust or optimize the model parameter using observations. A long-term problem in ensemble-based parameter estimation methods is that the parameters are assumed to be constant during model integration...
A multi-scale high-order recursive filter approach for the sea ice concentration analysis
Lu Yang, Dong Li, Xuefeng Zhang, Hongli Fu, Kexiu Liu
