    Topics

    • Networked data sources
    • Sensor networks
    • Data assimilation
    • Data-model fusion
    • Data-aware component model design
    • Environmental modelling with changing data

    Description

    Environmental monitoring and information systems are developing rapidly, to the point where on-line data sources and real-time monitoring data can become a robust component of environmental models, as they already are in emergency and early warning systems. Many environmental models are, however, constructed using fixed historical or stochastic data, and are calibrated and parameterised accordingly. This session considers the theory and practice of environmental model design, construction and operation using data from variable sources such as sensor networks, on-line databases and datanets.
