Summary

Abstract: Data assimilation has always been a particularly active area of research in glaciology. While many properties at the surface of glaciers and ice sheets can be directly measured from remote sensing or in situ observations (surface velocity, surface elevation, thinning rates, etc.), many important characteristics, such as englacial and basal properties, as well as past climate conditions, remain difficult or impossible to observe. Data assimilation has been used for decades in glaciology in order to infer unknown properties and boundary conditions that have important impact on numerical models and their projections. The basic idea is to use observed properties, in conjunction with ice flow models, to infer these poorly known ice properties or boundary conditions. There is, however, a great deal of variability among approaches. Constraining data can be of a snapshot in time, or can represent evolution over time. The complexity of the flow model can vary, from simple descriptions of lubrication flow or mass continuity to complex, continent-wide Stokes flow models encompassing multiple flow regimes. Methods can be deterministic, where only a best fit is sought, or probabilistic in nature. We present in this chapter some of the most common applications of data assimilation in glaciology, and some of the new directions that are currently being developed.
