Asymptotic approximations for convection onset with Ekman pumping at low wavenumbers

Sara Tro, Ian Grooms, Keith Julien

Ekman pumping is a phenomenon induced by no-slip boundary conditions in rotating fluids. In the context of Rayleigh-Bénard convection, Ekman pumping causes a significant change in…

Parameterized Ekman boundary layers on the tilted -plane

Sara Tro, Ian Grooms, Keith Julien

Rotating convection is considered on the tilted -plane where gravity and rotation are not aligned. For sufficiently large rotation rates, , the Taylor-Proudman effect results…

A comparison of nonlinear extensions to the ensemble Kalman filter: Gaussian Anamorphosis and Two-Step Ensemble Filters

Ian Grooms

Ensemble Kalman filters are based on a Gaussian assumption, which can limit their performance in some non-Gaussian settings. This paper reviews two nonlinear, non-Gaussian extensio…

A note on the formulation of the Ensemble Adjustment Kalman Filter

Ian Grooms

The ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF; Anderson, 2001) is one of the earliest ensemble square root filters. This note clarifies the correct formulation of the EAKF, which dep…

A hybrid particle-ensemble Kalman filter for problems with medium nonlinearity

Gregor Robinson, Ian Grooms

A hybrid particle ensemble Kalman filter is developed for problems with medium non-Gaussianity, i.e. problems where the prior is very non-Gaussian but the posterior is approximatel…

Analog ensemble data assimilation and a method for constructing analogs with variational autoencoders

Ian Grooms

It is proposed to use analogs of the forecast mean to generate an ensemble of perturbations for use in ensemble optimal interpolation (EnOI) or ensemble variational (EnVar) methods…

Rigorous bounds on the heat transport of rotating convection with Ekman pumping

B. Pachev, J. P. Whitehead, G. Fantuzzi +1

We establish rigorous upper bounds on the time-averaged heat transport for a model of rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection between no-slip boundaries at infinite Prandtl number and…
