AE 498 class schedule data for spring 2009
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
50863	Lecture-Discussion	DA	10:00AM -11:50AM	TR	Talbot Laboratory	Namachchivaya, N	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/09-05/06/09 Section Info: 4 hours Topic: Estimation and Data Assimilation. The future state of a dynamical model depends on control parameters such as initial conditions, model errors, parameters of the model, and boundary conditions. Insufficient knowledge of these parameters leads to uncertainty of the prediction. Information about the dynamical state and its uncertainty is collected from observations or data. Blending the information from observations with information from dynamical models to estimate the state or the model parameters is called data assimilation which is a complex interdisciplinary subject that involves engineering, signal processing and mathematics.
