RIKEN Center for Computational Science Data Assimilation Research Team
Team Leader: Takemasa Miyoshi (Ph.D.)
Research Summary
Data assimilation (DA) is a cross-disciplinary science to synergize computer simulations and real-world data, using statistical methods and applied mathematics. As computers become more powerful and enable more precise simulations, it will become more important to compare the simulations with actual observations. DA Team performs cutting-edge research and development on advanced DA methods and their wide applications, aiming to integrate computer simulations and real-world data in the wisest way. Particularly, DA Team tackles challenging problems of developing efficient and accurate DA systems for “big simulations” with real-world “big data” from various sources including advanced sensors. The specific foci include 1) theoretical and algorithmic developments for efficient and accurate DA, 2) DA methods and applications by taking advantage of the world-leading supercomputer and “big data” from new advanced sensors, and 3) exploratory new applications of DA in wider simulation fields. These advanced DA studies will enhance simulation capabilities and lead to a better use of high-performance computers.
