abstract = {The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is increasingly used to
improve the real-time prediction of groundwater states and
the estimation of uncertain hydraulic subsurface parameters
through assimilation of measurement data like groundwater
levels and concentration data. At the interface between
surface water and groundwater, measured groundwater
temperature data can provide an additional source of
information for subsurface characterizations with EnKF.
Additionally, an improved prediction of the temperature
field itself is often desirable for groundwater management.
In this work, we investigate the worth of a joint
assimilation of hydraulic and thermal observation data on
the state and parameter estimation with EnKF for two
different model setups: (i) a simple synthetic model of a
river-aquifer system where the parameters and simulation
conditions were perfectly known and (ii) a model of the
Limmat aquifer in Zurich (Switzerland) where an exhaustive
set of real-world observations of groundwater levels (87)
and temperatures (22) was available for assimilation (year
2007) and verification (year 2011). Results for the
synthetic case suggest that a joint assimilation of
piezometric heads and groundwater temperatures together with
updating of uncertain hydraulic parameters gives the best
estimation of states and hydraulic properties of the model.
For the real-world case, the prediction of groundwater
temperatures could also be improved through data
assimilation with EnKF. For the validation period, it was
found that parameter fields updated with piezometric heads
reduced RMSE's of states significantly (heads $−49\%,$
temperature $−15\%),$ but an additional conditioning of
parameters on groundwater temperatures only influenced the
characterization of the temperature field.},
