Slide 18

Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) The technical methods are based on the original algorithm of Evensen (1994) and the modified algorithm of Burgers et al. (1996). It is relatively easy to implement the algorithm, the EnKF, to a sophisticated nonlinear model (e.g. ROMS, POM, ECOM, FVCOM, HYCOM) since the data assimilation algorithm is independent of the forecast model.
