Data assimilation in hydrodynamic models for system-wide soft sensing and sensor validation for urban drainage tunnels

Tunnels are increasingly used worldwide to expand the capacity of urban drainage systems, but they are difficult to monitor with sensors alone. This study enables soft sensing of urban drainage tunnels by assimilating water level observations into an ensemble of hydrodynamic models. Ensemble-based d...
