John Harlim -Convex Error Growth Patterns in a Global Weather Model

Abstract:
Error Growth Pattern of a global weather model is studied and compared to the simpler chaotic models such as the Lorenz-40 and the Quasi-Geostrophic Model.

Danny Dunlavy - A Homotopy Method for Finding Low Energy Conformations of Polypeptides

Abstract:
A homotopy method is presented that minimizes the potential energy of polypeptides. A polypeptide is modeled as a chain of beads, with each bead corresponding to a hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or neutral residue. The method uses the lowest energy conformation of one polypeptide to predict that of another by following the path determined by a homotopy between the potential energy functions for the two polypeptides. Results are presented for small chains with hairpin structure.

John Harlim - The Ensemble Kalman Filter for Weather Forecasting

Abstract:
The Ensemble Kalman Filter, a data assimilation scheme, is introduced. This least-square based scheme corrects initial conditions for weather forecasting by accounting all the statistical informations obtained from the mathematical model and the observation datas. In this talk, I will discuss some technical difficulties in implementation-wise and the remedies for the last decade.
