➤ Data Assimilation offers a convenient framework for quantifying and reducing uncertainties in hydraulics models, making the most of in-situ and remote sensing observations.
➤ The Hydrology and Hydraulics research project is part of the MODEST challenge. It is at the crossroads of transversal axis at CERFACS such as “Data Assimilation” et “Uncertainty Quantification”.

Objectives
The objectives of the “Hydrology and hydraulics” research area are :
* Improve flood forecasting and water resources management capacity using data assimilation for hydrology and hydraulic modeling.
* Investigate the use of remote sensing data for hydraulic and hydrology modelling, especially from the up-coming SWOT (CNES, NASA) mission that will allow for unprecedented high resolution and global coverage observation of continental waters.
* Provide a methodological framework for multi-dimensional model coupling (1D and 2D) in hydraulics in order to describe complexe hydrodynamic flows while limiting the computational costs using the OpenPALM (CERFACS/ONERA) software and combining coupling and data assimilation.

* Improve complex hydrodynamics flow with 2D models. This implies implementing an ensemble-based data assimilation algorithm for the two-dimensional hydraulic model TELEMAC in order to correct the hydraulic state, model parameters and forcing. The ensemble based approach allows to represent flow depending background state error covariances.
* Combine uncertainty quantification and data assimilation methods, for instance using surrogate models to provide stochastic estimates of error statistics at reduced computational cost. These developments rely on the use of OpenPALM et OpenTurns (EDF/EADS).
Software and developments
The Data Assimilation with Mascaret Platform (DAMP) is developed in the framework of a collaboration between SCHAPI, LNHE, CEREMA and CERFACS. It is based on an Extended Kalman Filter algorithm implemented on the 1D hydraulic model MASCARET. It allows for the sequential correction over time of the hydraulic state, the upstream and lateral hydrological forcings and the friction coefficients. A similar platform to DAMP is currently under development for uncertainty quantification.
