Ensemble filter based estimation of spatially distributed parameters in a mesoscale dust model: experiments with simulated and real data [PDF]
The ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF) is used to estimate the erodibility fraction parameter field in a coupled meteorology and dust aerosol model (Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS)) over the Sahara desert.
