2016 Brakanes Hotel, Ulvik
11TH INTERNATIONAL ENKF WORKSHOP
JUNE 20-22, 2016
BRAKANES HOTEL, ULVIK
NORWAY
The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and its many variants have been proven effective for data assimilation in large models, including those in atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic, and petroleum reservoir systems. By bringing together technical experts, practitioners, researchers and students for presentations and informal interchange of information, we aim to share research results and suggest important challenges that have yet to be addressed. Read more here.
The 11th International EnKF workshop is arranged by IRIS in collaboration with the Nansen Center (NERSC), the Uni Research CIPR (CIPR) and Statoil.
Invited speakers:
- Arnold Heemink, TU Delft, Netherland; "Ensemble methods for variational data assimilation"
- Alexander Barth, University of Liège, Belgium; "Local ensemble assimilation scheme with global constraints and conservation"
- Raul Tempone, KAUST, Saudi Arabia; "A short overview of Multilevel Monte Carlo methods with applications in Ensemble Kalman Filtering"
- Marc Bocquet, Université Paris-Est, France; "On the convergence of (ensemble) Kalman filters and smoothers onto the unstable subspace"
- Remus Hanea, Statoil; "Recent developments and applications of Robust Optimization in Statoil, with an example of optimizing WAG strategies"
Scientific committee: Randi Valestrand (rv@iris.no), Xiaodong Luo (xilu@iris.no), IRIS, Alberto Carrassi (alberto.carassi@nersc.no), Nansen Center, Dean Oliver (dean.oliver@uni.no), Uni Research CIPR and Remus Hanea (rhane@statoil.com), Statoil
Call for abstract: Closed.
We welcome abstracts on both new developments of the EnKF and related data assimilation methods and realistic applications. The applications are encouraged to discuss limitations and suggest further developments of the method. The accepted abstracts will be scheduled for either oral presentation or poster presentation. This workshop does not publish full papers, so submission of full paper is not required.
