Published in 2020 at "Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society"

DOI: 10.1002/qj.3838

Abstract: One effective data assimilation/inversion method is the four‐dimensional variational method (4D‐Var). However, it is a non‐trivial task for a conventional 4D‐Var to estimate a posterior error covariance matrix. This study proposes a method to estimate… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society"

DOI: 10.1002/qj.4750

Abstract: Specification of the observation‐error covariance matrix for data assimilation systems affects the observation information content retained by the analysis, particularly for observations known to have correlated observation errors (e.g., geostationary satellite and Doppler radar data).… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society"

DOI: 10.1002/qj.4979

Abstract: In this work we show how to extend the deterministic physical nudging scheme in order to include two important ingredients, the model and observation‐error covariance matrices, which are common features of classical data‐assimilation schemes. The… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "IFAC-PapersOnLine"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ifacol.2021.08.381

Abstract: Abstract The boundedness of the Kalman filter, as the first cornerstone of its stability analysis, has been proved in the classical literature through upper bounds of non-recursive filters in the sense of the trace of… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering"

DOI: 10.1016/j.petrol.2019.06.032

Abstract: Abstract The ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation (ES-MDA) has become a popular assisted history-matching method. In its standard form, the method requires the specification of the number of iterations in advance. If the selected… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Earth and Space Science"

DOI: 10.1029/2019ea000667

Abstract: Skillful quantitative precipitation forecast using the numerical weather prediction model relies on an accurate estimate of the atmospheric state as an initial condition. Variational assimilation methods (VAR) have the potential to provide improved initial state… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "IEEE Signal Processing Letters"

DOI: 10.1109/lsp.2024.3519265

Abstract: State estimation from noisy observations is crucial across various fields. Traditional methods such as Kalman, Extended Kalman, and Unscented Kalman Filter often struggle with nonlinearities, model inaccuracies, and high observation noise. This letter introduces Cholesky-KalmanNet… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control"

DOI: 10.1109/tac.2025.3565956

Abstract: This article systematically investigates the performance of the consensus-based distributed filter under misspecified noise covariances. First, we introduce four quantities: the nominal filter parameter, the nominal estimation error covariance, the ideal filter parameter, and the… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement"

DOI: 10.1109/tim.2022.3160555

Abstract: Traditional spacecraft attitude estimation algorithms normally require the assumption that the true quaternion approximates to the estimated value. Otherwise, it may lead to a large truncation error. However, this assumption is difficult to be always… read more here.
