1 Ensemble forecasting/data assimilation and model error estimation algorithm Prepared by Dusanka Zupanski and Milija Zupanski CIRA/CSU Denning group meeting December 29, 2004 Dusanka Zupanski, CIRA/CSU Zupanski@CIRA.colostate.edu References Zupanski, M., 2005: The Maximum Likelihood Ensemble Filter.

2 Maximum Likelihood Ensemble Filter (MLEF) Developed using ideas from :  Variational data assimilation (3DVAR, 4DVAR)  Iterated Kalman Filters  Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (ETKF, Bishop et al. 2001) What the MLEF can do ?  Calculate optimal estimates of: - model state variables (e.g., carbon fluxes, sources, sinks) - empirical parameters (e.g., light response, allocation, drought stress) - model error (bias) - boundary conditions error (lateral, top, bottom boundaries)  Calculate uncertainty of all estimates  Calculate information content of observations (observability in ensemble subspace) Dusanka Zupanski, CIRA/CSU Zupanski@CIRA.colostate.edu

3  Calculate sensitivity, defined in calculus of variations - find the most likely sources/sinks of carbon  Define targeted observations strategies, based on the forecast uncertainty - the system knows where, when and which observations are needed in order to reduce forecast uncertainty  Acquire new knowledge about atmospheric and carbon processes - the system learns from the past about the state variables, model errors, empirical parameters, etc. - the system is adaptive (updates error covariance matrices in each data assimilation cycle) What the MLEF can do (continued) ?

(2003, Tellus) (?)

8 Dusanka Zupanski, CIRA/CSU Zupanski@CIRA.colostate.edu Initial cycles carry more information. Model has a capability to learn from the observations in later cycles. MLEF application to calculate information content RAMS model example Observation categories within the same cycle Multiple cycles

9 Ensemble Data Assimilation results with CSU global shallow-water model Impact (contribution) from each observation type can be quantified ! Milija Zupanski, CIRA/CSU ZupanskiM@CIRA.colostate.edu Observation categories within the same cycle Multiple cycles

11 MLEF Algorithm assimilation.sh script assimilation.sh iter < ioutmax forward.sh: Transformation from model space to observation space - Analysis error covariance calculation - Save current cycle output files - Post-processing (chi-square, RMS, etc.) Hessian preconditioning (only for iter=1) Gradient calculation (ensembles) Cost function calculation (diagnostic) Minimization (ensemble subspace) Step-length (line-search) Control variable update (transformation from ensemble subspace to model (physical) space) Dusanka Zupanski, CIRA/CSU Zupanski@CIRA.colostate.edu

12 MLEF Algorithm Options Models: KdVB, GEOS, SWM, RAMS, … Observations: Synthetic or include various real observations Obs. operators:Include various forward operators Solution Type:Mode (max likelihood-MLEF) or Mean (ensemble mean ETKF) Estimator:Filter or Smoother Control variable:Initial conditions, Model bias, Model parameters Covariances:Localized, or Non-localized forecast error covariance Minimization:Minimization algorithm (C-G, L-BFGS) MPI:Parallel MPI run or a Single processor run Verifications:Innovation statistics (chi-square test, K-S test), RMS-errors Dusanka Zupanski, CIRA/CSU Zupanski@CIRA.colostate.edu

13  Decide which MODELs will be used (LPDM, SiB-CASA-RAMS, PCTM)  In initial experiments use MODEL as in Gurney et al. (2003)  Install LAPACK on your computer, unless it already exists. Compile with 32 bit object code option (LAPACK can be found at http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~lapack)  Install MLEF algorithm on your computer  Include MODEL into MLEF - develop an interface between MODEL and MLEF (a template from SWM, RAMS is available) - prepare all input files for the model  Prepare observations - synthetic observations of atmospheric and carbon variables - separate observations into groups (if needed) - define data assimilation interval Tasks Dusanka Zupanski, CIRA/CSU Zupanski@CIRA.colostate.edu

14  Perform initial data assimilation experiments with synthetic observations - perfect model assumption experiments - parameter estimation experiments - model error estimation experiments  Develop observation operators for: - atmospheric observations (u,v,T,p,q, etc.) - carbon observations  Data assimilation and ensemble forecasting experiments with real observations - LPDM - SiB-CASA-RAMS - PCTM Tasks (continued) Major development assignments  Model related tasks (LPDM, SiB-CASA-RAMS, PCTM)  Observation operators related tasks Dusanka Zupanski, CIRA/CSU Zupanski@CIRA.colostate.edu
