It, however, like other numerical models, suffers from limitations arising from parameter uncertainty, simplified assumptions, absence of data for appropriate specification of boundary conditions and etc. Moreover, since the water motion in Singapore Straits is driven by tides from both South China Sea and Andaman Sea, complex hydrodynamics adds to the difficulties of accurate simulations. In view of the above, the data assimilation was investigated in this study to enhance the performance of Singapore Regional Model. Based on the concept of model residue prediction, distribution and following correction, several techniques have successfully been developed and implemented to improve the forecasting accuracy of water level around Singapore area. As for the model residue predictions, unlike most previous research which tended to take only account of historical records, a special attention has been given to a prior estimate apart from the historical records in this study. The influence of a prior estimate was thoroughly examined through the method of time lagged recurrent network (TLRN). The results suggest that additional consideration of a prior estimate is instrumental to improve the data-driven procedure like TLRN. Besides, a modified local model (MLM) has been developed based on chaos theory, which took a prior estimate into construction of phase space. It can not only retain the advantage of conventional LM, but also yield more stable results over the long vi horizons. Since MLM searches for the optimal embedding parameters only at the beginning of entire calculation, it has better computational efficiency. The predicted model residues at measured station were then distributed spatially to non-measured stations, which were used to correct the model output at these stations. As the spatial distribution becomes extremely difficult in situations with few sample stations at a highly non-linear system, the Approximated Ordinary Kriging (AOK) which is particularly suited to scenarios with only sparse sample data was resorted to. Both the space and time lags were then taken into consideration in the AOK implementation (also known as “ASTOK”). The results indicate that consideration of the time lag between different locations was conducive to capture the spatial relationship. Incorporating the updated data with appropriate time lag from measured locations can enhance the interpolation ability. In addition to Kriging, Kalman filter (KF) was another data assimilation technique which the present research has explored. As the conventional KF approach suffers from limitation due to the updated initial conditions which was quickly ‘wash-out’ after a certain forecast horizon, this study explored two different Kalman Filter approaches, namely two-sample Kalman filter (two-sample KF) and Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) to avoid the preceding limitation. In conclusion, the combined use of MLM and ASTOK was found to be fairly effective in improving the predictive efficacy of Singapore Regional model (SRM), with high efficiency in computation. It can effectively correct outputs of SRM even with coarse resolution and improve the accuracy over the entire domain (especially vii for long forecast horizons). These corrected results of numerical model can thus sever better to provide information of Singapore regional water. viii Chapter Application of Data assimilation to SRM(F) Figure 7.3 Comparison between RMSE of corrected SRM(C) and corrected SRM(F) at Tanah Merah (using AOK) Figure 7.4 Comparison between RMSE of corrected SRM(C) and corrected SRM(F) at Sembawang (using AOK) 159 Chapter Application of Data assimilation to SRM(F) Figure 7.5 Comparison between RMSE of corrected SRM(C) and corrected SRM(F) at Raffles (using AOK) 160 Chapter Conclusions and Recommendations Chapter Conclusions and Recommendations 8.1 Conclusions This study explores residue-correction based data assimilation scheme which is conceived to correct the numerical outputs of coarse version of Singapore Regional Model (SRM(C)) so as to improve its forecast accuracy. The proposed scheme comprises of two phases, namely residue prediction and spatial distribution. In the first phase (i.e. residue prediction), model residue prediction is first carried out at measured stations using time lagged recurrent network (TLRN) with different inputs. The prediction results suggest that TLRN with two predictors (namely historical residue mea (t n ) and a prior estimate at the forecast time level x mea (t n t ) ) is superior to TLRN with one predictor (namely historical residue mea (t n ) ) for all forecast horizons at every station. The inclusion of a prior estimate at the forecast time level x mea (t n t ) in the TLRN turns out to be very helpful to improve its prediction accuracy. It also implies that the additional consideration of physical information such as a prior estimate is instrumental to enhance the performance of data-driven procedure like TLRN. Apart from the TLRN method, the conventional local model (LM) based on chaos theorem is also tested in this study for model residue prediction. Although LM approach is found to be effective for model residue prediction over the short horizons, its performance for the long horizons is less satisfactory. A modified local model (MLM) is thereby developed in this research which can fairly produce desirable predictions over not only the short but also long horizons. It retains the advantage of conventional LM to uncover the trajectories of model residue through 161 Chapter Conclusions and Recommendations embedding phase space and yet yield more stable results over the long horizons. This is achieved by taking a prior estimate into the local model calculation. What’s more, MLM searches for the optimal embedding parameters only at the beginning of the entire calculation, rather than at every prediction horizon as the way LM does. As such, it is more efficient in computation. In the second phase, spatial distribution is conducted at non-measured stations to estimate their model residues. Those predicted model residues from the first phase (more precisely from TLRN and MLM methods) are distributed from the two measured stations to the three non-measured ones. Unlike the previous work (Sun, 2010) where the distribution efficacy was guaranteed by selecting measured stations appropriately, this study attains desirable distribution performance with given measured stations by improving distribution approaches including Kriging and Kalman filter. The Approximated Ordinary Kriging (AOK) is first utilized which considers only the spatial correlation between measured and non-measured stations. Subsequently, the temporal correlation is further taken into account in the so-called Approximated Space-Time Ordinary Kriging (ASTOK). Although both AOK and ASTOK are found to be competent to capture complex, dynamic and non-linear spatial relationship, more favorable distribution performance is achieved by ASTOK in particular in short horizons. Several important messages are therefore attainable from the results of Kriging. The spatial relationship of model residues can sensibly be estimated through approximated variogram. It is feasible to calculate such variogram from the prior estimate offered by the SRM(C). The inclusion of time lag between 162 Chapter Conclusions and Recommendations different locations can contribute to improving the estimation of spatial relationship. Considering updated data with appropriate time lag from measured locations can enhance the distribution efficacy of Kriging. In addition to the Kriging method, two-sample Kalman filter and Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) are also examined in this study. While both approaches yield acceptable distribution results, UKF gives relatively better performance especially at those stations near coastal area. It may be attributed to the inclusion of two extra observation variables that are the model residues at two measured stations. Another contribution factor comes from the use of non-linear transformation function in the UKF approach. It employs Genetic Programming considering the underlying relationship between the model residue and the model output. It is noted that the model residues at measured locations can provide valuable information for the construction of the spatial correlation matrix. In general, the performance of AOK outdoes two-sample KF, and the UKF can compete with the preceding AOK, yet not on a par with ASTOK. It implies that the correction procedure to update the model reside (ASTOK and AOK) is more effective than the procedure to update the model output (UKF and two-sample KF). No matter whether Kriging or KF is adopted, relatively accurate predictions of residues at measured stations are found to be pivotal for the success of distribution. Hence, improving the prediction accuracy is critical to enhance the distribution efficiency. Based on the prediction and distribution performance of the preceding different approaches, it is reasonable to propose a hybrid data assimilation scheme which makes use of MLM and ASTOK for the model residue prediction and distribution, 163 Chapter Conclusions and Recommendations respectively. The use of MLM can help to preclude the adverse influence of long forecast horizon for time series forecast. The adoption of ASTOK can produce satisfactory results even in the case with sparse sampling stations in that it takes both distance lag and time lag into consideration. In conclusion, the combination of MLM and ASTOK is recommended for long time forecasting, which is even applicable for the case with only sparse sample stations. The numerical model (SRM(C)) is proved to be used successfully as the background information for the data assimilation scheme. Since the proposed scheme is designed to correct outputs of numerical model (SRM(C)), it can thus be executed offline without the need to interrupt SRM(C) calculation. After its implementation, results from SRM(C) become much more accurate, even better than those from original SRM(F). It confirms the advantages of the proposed scheme in terms of efficacy and efficiency. The corrected results of numerical model (SRM(C)) can provide useful information for the study of Singapore regional water. The proposed data assimilation scheme may have wider applications for engineer to improve model outputs of highly non-linear systems. 8.2 Recommendations One important assumption adopted in the present study is that the residue is distributed the same way that numerical model output is. The spatial dependence structure is estimated based on a prior estimate from numerical model output. As a result, the numerical simulation accuracy unavoidably affects the data assimilation efficacy. Further study is recommended to avoid such assumption. Besides, more 164 Chapter Conclusions and Recommendations works should be done in exploring other methods (besides Genetic Programming) and investigation more stations surrounding the Singapore Island. (a) Estimate the spatial relationship or spatial dependence structure based on model residue. This study estimates the spatial dependence structure based on a prior estimate. Since the variable to be interpolated is the model residue, although the numerical model output can be used to approximate the spatial relationship, it should be more sensible to estimate the spatial dependence structure based on the actual model residue. (b) In the case with a sufficient amount of measured stations, the data-rich information should be taken full advantage of to estimate the spatial relationship more reasonably. If that is the case, the spatial interpolation methods (like Kriging) with artificial neural network are recommended. (c) Evaluate some other intelligent methods other than Genetic Programming in estimating the observation transform functions. The present study makes use of Genetic Programming to estimate observation transform function of UKF. In future, more attempts are suggested to try some other intelligent methods, such as support vector machine, radial basis function network, etc. (d) Lay more stress on wider area surrounding Singapore Island. This took only five stations around Singapore islands as example to examine the performance of proposed data assimilation scheme. Scope of further study should be broadened to include wider areas surrounding the Singapore Island such that more stations can be chosen for evaluation. 165 Chapter Conclusions and Recommendations (e) This study applied the proposed scheme in hydrodynamic model to improve the water level forecasting. It could be further used to correct the current or applied for other numerical modeling system. 166 Reference Reference Abarbanel, H., 1998.
