        | Estimating the contribution
of Antarctica and Greenland to sea-level rise is a hot topic in glaciology.
Good estimates rely on our ability to run a precisely calibrated ice sheet
evolution model starting from a reliable initial state. Data assimilation
aims to provide an answer to this problem by combining the model equations
with observations. In this paper we aim to study a state-of-the-art ensemble
Kalman filter (ETKF) to address this problem. This method is implemented and
validated in the twin experiments framework for a shallow ice flowline model
of ice dynamics. The results are very encouraging, as they show a good
convergence of the ETKF (with localisation and inflation), even for
small-sized ensembles. |
