Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) 4 Start with the Kalman Filter (KF) [Kalman, 196] First developed to integrate noisy measured data in a physical model characterized by (a) linear dynamics and (b) a Gaussian distribution of system variables and measurement errors. Two-step implementation scheme: (1) mean and covariances of system state variables are propagated/advanced in time until new measurements of these states (and/or other) variables are available (forward step); () measured values and the associated error measurement variances are employed to evaluate updated mean and covariances of system state variables (updating step). t = t t = t 1 t = t f(y ) f(y 1 y ) f(y 1 d 1 ) f(y y 1 ) f(y d ) Guadagnini A., Panzeri M., Riva M., Neuman S.P. f(d 1 y 1 ) f(d y )

Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) 6 Advantages: EnKF is associated with dynamic systems; observed data are obtained in time and employed for sequential updates of the model. no sensitivity analysis (gradient-based methods) relatively affordable computational cost sequential update of model variables/states well-suited for real time model estimation Ensemble of models (conceptual uncertainty quantification) t = t t = t 1 t = t f(y ) f(y 1 y ) f(y 1 d 1 ) f(y y 1 ) f(y d ) Guadagnini A., Panzeri M., Riva M., Neuman S.P. f(d 1 y 1 ) f(d y )

EnKF (traditional MC approach) 7 Data assimilation of transient groundwater flow data in complex geologic media via Ensemble Kalman filter First and second order statistical moments of parameters and state variables are traditionally approximated via Monte Carlo approach Difficulties a. A good approximation of the covariance function requires a large number of realizations (computationally intensive) b. When the collection ( ensemble ) of realizations is small, the spurious correlations in the empirical covariance matrix may lead to incorrect parameters updates (Filter Inbreeding)

Filter inbreeding 31 The EnKF leads to systematically underestimated error during the assimilation. It is caused by the juxtaposition of diverse effects: i. updating of the collection of model realizations through a Kalman gain calculated from the same sample; ii. iii. influence of the finiteness of the sample size on the Kalman gain (spurious covariances in the sample covariance matrix); nonlinear relationship between hydraulic heads and logtransmissivities.

Conclusions 44 Coupling (nonlocal) conditional MEs of groundwater flow with EnKF obviates the need for: (a) computationally intensive MC simulations; (b) batch inverse solution Combining EnKF and MEs renders the estimation of variogram parameters less critical than in batch inverse solution (not shown in details here) Increasing the log-conductivity error measurement variance by one order of magnitude brought about only a minor deterioration in the quality of the parameter estimates Assimilation of early time hydraulic head measurements resulted in an increased rate of improvement of parameter estimation without underestimating their variance.

Conclusions 45 Traditional MC-based EnKF yields reliable results when NMC 1, Filter inbreeding affects the MC simulation performed with a low number of model realization. The ME-based assimilation is not affected by filter inbreeding in the considered case. Results from field scale application are promising.
