A Localized Ensemble Kalman Smoother
Numerous geophysical inverse problems prove difficult because the available measurements are indirectly related to the underlying unknown dynamic state and the physics governing the system may involve imperfect models or unobserved parameters. Data assimilation addresses these difficulties by combining the measurements and physical knowledge. The main challenge in such problems usually involves their high dimensionality and the standard statistical methods prove computationally intractable. This paper develops and addresses the theoretical convergence of a new high-dimensional Monte-Carlo approach called the localized ensemble Kalman smoother.

Resolution Assessment in Dynamic Image Formation
Remote sensing and astronomical image formation is often complicated by deficiencies in measurement quality, density, or diversity. Penalized likelihood methods can incorporate additional first-principles physical prior knowledge and improve the image reconstructions, but a systematic bias is unavoidable as a consequence. This work derives theory to understand the bias and develops a computational tool to probe its effect on the reconstructed image and bound resolution limits. Though the focus is on image formation, the contributions of this paper apply to any inference problem that can be expressed under the linear state-space signal model.
