| Abstract | Large data assimilation problems present a number of challenges, many of which the authors' multiscale estimation framework is capable of addressing. They demonstrate the application of their estimation framework to an oceanographic data assimilation problem of considerable interest: the smoothing of Topex/Poseidon ocean altimetric data. they produce surface estimates and error statistics on a 512 times;512 grid in one minute on a Sparc-10. Using a generic surface reconstruction problem they demonstrate alternative uses of the multiscale framework: higher order state models, combining estimates from an ensemble of trees, and overlapping tree models |
