Introduction This model implement a simple oscillator model. Because of its small size (2 state variables) and linear behaviour, this model is ideal as a first test for assimilation methods. Al should converge quickly to the right values. simple linear oscilator (e.g. mass-spring system with friction) d(x)/d(t) = u d(u)/d(t) = - omega^2 * x - (2/t_damp) u The model is implemented in native code (Fortran). Input files are given for 3 experiments - enkf_sqlobs.oda Run with ensemble Kalman filter and assimilate observations from a native implementation of an observer that reads the observations from an sqlite-database file obs_oscill.sql - simplex.oda Run with ensemble Kalman filter use observations from a java implementation of an observer that reads NOOS observations from the file obs_oscill.noos - enkf_javaobs.oda Calibration run using the simplex method
