Abstract.
The Kalman filter is used in this paper as a framework for space time data analysis. Using Kalman filtering it is possible to include physically based simulation models into the data analysis procedure. Attention is concentrated on the development of fast filter algorithms to make Kalman filtering feasible for high dimensional space time models. The ensemble Kalman filter and the reduced rank square root filter algorithm are briefly summarized. A new algorithm, the partially orthogonal ensemble Kalman filter is introduced too. We will illustrate the performance of the Kalman filter algorithms with a real life air pollution problem. Here ozone concentrations in a part of North West Europe are estimated and predicted.
