Personal research

This work is called "A" in the assessment process described above.

There are 2 levels: 

• "A1" (normal) 
• "A2" (in depth).
  

You can work alone or in pairs. You choose a subject among those proposed below and you produce a written report.
Your assessment will consist in:

• written report assessment 

• oral "question and answer" (individually, even if you worked in pairs)

A1 work (1.75 ECTS, e.g., Ensimag students)
Proposed subjects:

• Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and extensions

• Adjoint-based sensitivity analysis (VarSA)
• Global sensitivity analysis (GSA)

• Variational assimilation with non-linear models (VarNL)

• Particle filters (PF) especially for high dimension
  

Research using internet, books, simple articles, tutorials, introductions, ...
Produce a short report of your research: 5 to 10 pages.

A2 work (3 ECTS, e.g., MSIAM students)
Proposed subjects:

• Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and extension

• Ensemble transform Kalman filter (ETKF)

• SEEK filter

• Adjoint-based sensitivity analysis (VarSA)
• Global sensitivity analysis (GSA)

• Automatic differentiation (AD)

• Variational assimilation with non-linear models (VarNL)

• Particle filters (PF), especially for high dimension
  

• Hybrid variational/filtering assimilation 

• Reduced order assimilation

• Model error control in DA

Research using internet, books, research articles (some of them are below, please request more papers if you need them)
Produce a report of your research: 10 to 20 pages.
