Data Assimilation for Ocean Drift Trajectories Using Massive Ensembles and GPUs

Abstract

In this work, we perform fully nonlinear data assimilation of ocean drift trajectories using multiple GPUs. We use an ensemble of up to 10000 members and the sequential importance resampling algorithm to assimilate observations of drift trajectories into the underlying shallow-water simulation model. Our results show an improved drift trajectory forecast using data assimilation for a complex and realistic simulation scenario, and the implementation exhibits good weak and strong scaling.
