A Kalman filter-based framework for assimilating remote sensing observations into a surface mass balance model
This study introduces a custom implementation of the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) for calibrating a three-dimensional glacier evolution model. The EnKF can assimilate observations as they become available and provides uncertainty measures for the initial state after calibration. We calibrate an elevation-dependent surface mass balance (SMB) model using elevation change observations and test the EnKF’s […]This study introduces a custom implementation of the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) for calibrating a three-dimensional glacier evolution model.

Participation in the HEFEX III campaign
To investigate the boundary layer between glaciers and the atmosphere, the third Hintereisferner Experiment (HEFEX III) was conducted in August on glacier Hintereisferner in Austria. The campaign was organised within the frame of the Glacier Space Project from Humboldt-University Berlin (HUB) and University of Innsbruck (UIBK), with the main goal to measure vertical profiles of […]
