Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The students will familiarize themselves with common data-assimilation and ensemble-prediction methods. They shall understand the underlying theory as well as the application. Topics that the students will develop a deeper understanding of include observation operators, Ensemble-Kalman-Filters, adjoint models, 3D-VAR & 4D-VAR, and ensemble perturbations.
The exercises will focus on applying the methods introduced in the lecture using simple numerical examples. Python and jupyter-notebooks.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students have to pass two graded oral exams. The first will occur at the end of November, and the second at the end of January. The students will also have to complete assigned tasks at home and participate in the exercises. These assigned tasks will also be graded.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Die final grade is a weighted mean of the two oral exams and the graded homework assignments. Each of the oral exams counts for 35%, and the homework assignments for 30% of the final grade. The students need to attend at least 80% of the exercises.
