Latest advances and developments in data assimilation for operational hydrologic forecasting and water resources management
Latest advances and developments in data assimilation for operational hydrologic forecasting and water resources management
Editor(s): Y. Liu, A. Weerts, and F. Pappenberger
This special issue will feature the latest advances and developments in hydrologic data assimilation (DA) for operational hydrologic forecasting and water resources management as an outcome of the 2.5-day international workshop in Delft, the Netherlands, on November 1–3 2010. Focusing on data assimilation for operational hydrologic forecasting and water resources management, this special issue will include high-quality papers on various related topics:
  • theoretical and mathematical aspects of hydrologic DA applications;
  • objective utilization of new and existing sources of data (in situ or remotely sensed, quantitative or qualitative), for hydrologic DA applications;
  • modeling and quantification of structural, parametric, observational, and anthropogenic uncertainties in DA applications;
  • open-source and community-based tools for hydrologic DA in support of single-valued or ensemble analysis and prediction.
