Joint estimation of states and parameters of two-layer coastal aquifers based on ENKF

Management of groundwater resources has become a source of heated discussion in coastal hydrogeology. Thus, we introduced an Ensemble Kalman Filter (ENKF) into a two-layer confined groundwater model based on the interactive operation between the MATLAB and GMS to investigate the capability of ENKF u...
